This first book of the sixth volume centers on the Revolutionary
and Constitutional eras in early American history, while also
carrying the story ahead into the early 19th century. How did the
American founders adapt and utilize European thought in their
political and legal ideas on sovereignty, state, and legislation?
Because of the seismic impact of European thought (and classical
traditions) on America's foremost founders, it should come as no
surprise that some of the most basic documents in the emergent new
Republic were significantly influenced by European writings.
Subsequent studies will take up the same basic themes in American
thought and events from the mid-19th century to the present period.
The common denominator of legislation is seen to underlie their
concepts of sovereignty and the state across a diverse range of
isms such as utilitarianism, positivism, idealism, socialism, and
nationalism, in the 19th century and in related neo and anti-neo
forms in the 20th century. The organization and classification of
these and other issues is on the whole novel and comprehensive. As
various reviewers have indicated, nothing of this magnitude on the
subjects at hand has ever before been attempted.
