"The Great Tradition" traces the way in which English
constitutional history became a major factor in the development of
a national identity that took for granted the superiority of the
English as a governing race. In the United States, constitutional
history also became an aspect of the United States's
self-definition as a nation governed by law. The book's importance
lies in the way constitutional history interpreted the past to
create a favorable self-image for each country. It deals with
constitutional history as a justification for empire, a model for
the emergent academic history of the 1870s, a surrogate for
political argument in the guise of scholarship, and an element that
contributed to the Anglo-American rapprochement before World War I.
The book also traces the rise and decline of constitutional history
as a fashionable sub-discipline within the academy.
