“A corrective to the all-too-facile tendency to find a conceptual uniformity in the Founders' thought.”<br /><br />—Choice
In this volume distinguished historians and political scientists examine political discourse during that short span of years from the Revolution through ratification, a period of profound political and conceptual change. The concepts of "sovereignty," "representation," "liberty," "virtue," "republic," "democracy"—even "constitution" itself—were virtually recoined. Others, like "federalism," were new inventions. Out of the vehement political arguments and debates of the period came not only a new Constitution but a new political vocabulary—a political idiom that was distinctly recognizably American.
Les mer
The linguistic and conceptual dimension of the founding of America are examined in this book. Historians and political scientists analyze political discourse from the Revolution to ratification and suggest that out of the arguments and debates of the period came the American Constitution.
