State As a Work of Art - The Cultural Origins of the Constitution

Zusammenfassung The founding of the United States after the American Revolution was so deliberate, so inspired, and so monumental in scope that the key actors considered this new government to be a work of art framed from natural rights. The author explores these ideas and gives an account of the origins and meanings of the Constitution of the United States.
