Not illustrated. 1800 edition. Excerpt: ... that the world ever beheld. They drew up, without ever so much as asking the free assent of the king, a constitUr tion so called, the incompetency, the impracticability, the ridiculous absurdity of which was so great, that, even among its authors--(another unexampled yet indubitable fact) not a single man would ever have seriously defended it. This constitution they compelled the king, upon pain of being immediately dethroned, to subscribe and swear to. Scarcely had this happened, when their successors, who by virtue of this constitution alone, had a sort of legal existence, and held something resembling an authority to shew, them. The colonies wished to rnaintaiaiheir old constitution; the government.destroyed it. The resistance, which the colonies opposed against the mother country, was, in every period of this unhappy contest, exactly commensurate with the attack; the total separation was not resolved, until the utter impossibility of preserving the ancient condition was proved. The stamp-act threw America into the most violent commotion; tumultuous scenes, though attended with no acts of bloody violence, broke out in all the provinces. But they were no where formally sanctioned by the approbation of the legislative authorities. The litde congress of 28 deputies of several colonies, who in the year 1765 assembled at New-York, and served as the model for the subsequent larger assembly, passed no other resolution than that " the colonies could only be taxed by their representatives," and expressed this perfectly lawful resolve, in petitions to the king. The single general measure, which was then offered, the non-importation agreement, was a voluntary engagement, sanctioned by no public authorityV: The declaratory act, ...

The Paradoxes of Nationalism by Chimene I. Keitner Pdf

The Paradoxes of Nationalism explores a critical stage in the development of the principle of national self-determination: the years of the French Revolution, during which the idea of the nation was fused with that of self-government. While scholars and historians routinely cite the French Revolution as the origin of nationalism, they often fail to examine the implications of this connection. Chimène I. Keitner corrects this omission by drawing on history and political theory to deepen our understanding of the historical and normative underpinnings of national self-determination as a basis for international political order. Based on this analysis, Keitner constructs a framework for evaluating nation-based claims in contemporary world politics and identifies persistent theoretical and practical tensions that must be taken into account in contemplating proposals for "civic nationalism" and alternative, nonnational models.

The Mind of the Master Class by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese,Eugene D. Genovese Pdf

The Mind of the Master Class tells of America's greatest historical tragedy. It presents the slaveholders as men and women, a great many of whom were intelligent, honorable, and pious. It asks how people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted horrors on their slaves. The South had formidable proslavery intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ('free-labor') society. Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative principles in history, political economy, social theory, and theology, while translating them into political action. Even those who judge their way of life most harshly have much to learn from their probing moral and political reflections on their times - and ours - beginning with the virtues and failings of their own society and culture.

Sister Republics by Patrice L. R. Higonnet Pdf

Exploring the backgrounds of the American and French revolutions, Higonnet finds that dominant American ideology welded together strands of individualist and communitarian thought under an umbrella of virtue, while most Frenchmen, by contrast, were still suspicious of economic individualism. Whereas in America both the rights of the individual and the interests of the community were protected in a pluralistic Federal system, in France these two forces remained at loggerheads. This resulted in politics of consensus in America and generated political conflict in France. ISBN 0-674-80982-3: $27.50.
