It's worthy of note the bias of this article considering Dembitz was most probably involved in the Revolutions of 1848, and had to flee Prussia (born in what is now Poland). He came to America with his radical, idealistic theories in centralized power ("unification") and proceeded to use his knowledge of legal rhetoric to manipulate the public into adopting the non-transparent process of the secret ballot (never before part of the American system). Ironically, removing the restraints on the Executive branch of the U.S. federal government would later prove costly to immigrants of Japanese and German descent when FDR put them into internment camps at the start of WWII. At least he remained in America, instead of running back to Europe like 50%t of the Forty-Eighters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:German-American_Forty-Eighters).
