The Partisan Republic : Democracy, Exclusion, and the Fall of the Founders' Constitution, 1780s–1830s

Omtale

The Partisan Republic provides a compelling account of early American constitutionalism in the Founding era. The book focuses on the decline of the Founding generation's elitist vision of the Constitution and the rise of a more 'democratic' vision premised on the exclusion of women and non-whites.
