Book excerpt: In Jefferson and the Virginians, renowned scholar Peter S. Onuf examines the ways in which Thomas Jefferson and his fellow Virginians—George Washington, James Madison, and Patrick Henry—both conceptualized their home state from a political and cultural perspective, and understood its position in the new American union. The conversations Onuf reconstructs offer glimpses into the struggle to define Virginia—and America—within the context of the upheaval of the Revolutionary War. Onuf also demonstrates why Jefferson’s identity as a Virginian obscures more than it illuminates about his ideology and career. Onuf contends that Jefferson and his interlocutors sought to define Virginia’s character as a self-constituted commonwealth and to determine the state’s place in the American union during an era of constitutional change and political polarization. Thus, the outcome of the American Revolution led to ongoing controversies over the identity of Virginians and Americans as a “people” or “peoples”; over Virginia’s boundaries and jurisdiction within the union; and over the system of government in Virginia and for the states collectively. Each debate required a balanced consideration of corporate identity and collective interests, which inevitably raised broader questions about the character of the Articles of Confederation and the newly formed federal union. Onuf’s well-researched study reveals how this indeterminacy demanded definition and, likewise, how the need for definition prompted further controversy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about American politics and law; it is also about the roots of the Contract with America. A logical place to find the intent of the Founders is in Locke, which Stephens highlights. The most attractive feature of George Stephens's new book is his effort to root present-day controversies about property rights, freedom and the role of government in the great literature of liberty that is America's political heritage. The struggle to liberate our markets and our minds is an old -- even an ancient -- one. Stephens demonstrates that, to prevail in this critical struggle, we must replant the seeds of liberty that John Locke and others found centuries ago, and nurture their growth into towering, protective trees of constitutional order.

This book was released on 2024-07-27 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America by Claude G. Bowers offers a compelling examination of the ideological and political rivalry between two of America's most influential Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. This insightful book delves into the contrasting visions these men had for the future of the United States, shaping the course of the nation's early development. Bowers provides a detailed narrative of how Jefferson and Hamilton, despite their mutual respect, clashed on fundamental issues such as federal power, economic policy, and the role of the government. Jefferson, with his agrarian ideals, and Hamilton, with his vision of a strong central government and industrial economy, represented two distinct pathways for America's growth and governance. The book explores their debates and disagreements, illustrating how these conflicts influenced early American politics and policy. Bowers’ analysis highlights the broader implications of their struggle, reflecting on how their differing philosophies contributed to the shaping of American democracy and the political landscape of the fledgling nation. Jefferson and Hamilton is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, political theory, and the foundational debates that shaped the United States. Bowers’ engaging writing and thorough research provide a nuanced understanding of these pivotal figures and their enduring impact on the nation’s democratic ideals.

Download or read book Citizens of a Common Intellectual Homeland written by Armin Mattes and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notions of democracy and nationhood constitute the pivotal legacy of the American Revolution, but to understand their development one must move beyond a purely American context. Citizens of a Common Intellectual Homeland explores the simultaneous emergence of modern concepts of democracy and the nation on both sides of the Atlantic during the age of revolutions. Armin Mattes argues that in their origin the two concepts were indistinguishable because they arose from a common revolutionary impulse directed against the prevailing hierarchical political and social order. The author shows how the reconceptualization of democracy and the nation, which resulted from this revolutionary impulse, received its decisive form from the French Revolution. Although the French Revolution was instrumental in redefining the two terms, however, neither were these changes confined to France, nor did the new meanings merely radiate from France to other countries. To illustrate the transatlantic emergence of these ideas, Mattes considers the works of pairs of prominent intellectual contemporaries—one in America and the other in Europe—each writing on a common topic. The thinkers and topics include Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke on the transatlantic revolutions, John Adams and Friedrich von Gentz on the mixed constitution, James Madison and Immanuel Kant on perpetual peace, and Thomas Jefferson and Destutt de Tracy on the nation. Mattes's approach highlights the significant impact that the French Revolution had on the evolution of thought in the period, demonstrating that the emergence and early development of modern concepts of democracy and the nation in America were intimately tied to revolutionary events and processes in the larger Atlantic world.

Download or read book Democracy's Muse written by Andrew Burstein and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In political speech, Thomas Jefferson is the eternal flame. No other member of the founding generation has served the agendas of both Left and Right with greater vigor. When Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the iconic Jefferson Memorial on the founder’s two hundredth birthday, in 1943, he declared the triumph of liberal humanism. Harry Truman claimed Jefferson as his favorite president, too. And yet Ronald Reagan was as great a Jefferson admirer as any Democrat. He had a go-to file of Jefferson’s sayings and enshrined him as a small-government conservative. So, who owns Jefferson--the Left or the Right? The unknowable yet irresistible third president has had a tortuous afterlife, and he remains a fixture in today’s culture wars. Pained by Jefferson’s slaveholding, Democrats still regard him highly. Until recently he was widely considered by many African Americans to be an early abolitionist. Libertarians adore him for his inflexible individualism, and although he formulated the doctrine of separation of church and state, Christian activists have found intense religiosity between the lines in his pronouncements. The renowned Jefferson scholar Andrew Burstein lays out the case for both "Democrat" and "Republican" Jefferson as he interrogates history’s greatest shape-shifter, the founder who has inspired perhaps the strongest popular emotions. In this timely and powerful book, Burstein shares telling insights, as well as some inconvenient truths, about politicized Americans and their misappropriations of the past, including the concoction of a "Jeffersonian" stance on issues that Jefferson himself could never have imagined. Here is one book that is more about "us" than it is about Jefferson. It explains how the founding generation’s most controversial partisan became essential to America’s quest for moral security—how he became, in short, democracy’s muse.
