American political thought was shaped by a unique combination of
theoretical influences: republicanism, liberalism, and covenant
theology. This reader shows how these influences came together.
Organized chronologically from the Puritans' arrival in the New
World to the Civil War, each chapter includes carefully selected
primary sources and substantial commentary to explain the
historical context and significance of the excerpts. A coherent
interpretative framework is offered by focusing the analysis on the
different assumptions of the people - the republican understanding
as a corporate whole and the liberal understanding as a multitude
of individuals - that were intertwined during the founding. The
book features, for the first time, two chapters on non-American
authors, who capture the main tenets of republicanism and
liberalism and were widely quoted in the era, as well as excerpts
from lesser-known sources, including Puritan covenants, the first
state constitutions, and Native American speeches.
