New Order of the Ages - Time, Constitution, Making of Modern American Political Thought

Looks at the change in American political thinking between the Treaty of Paris and the election of Jefferson president in 1800

About the author

Michael Lienesch

Summary

Lienesch shows that what emerged from the period of change was an inconsistent combination of political theories. The mixture of classical republicanism and modern liberalism was institutionalized in the American Constitution and has continued--ambivalent, contradictory, and sometimes flatly paradoxical--to characterize American politics ever since.
