American Sovereigns: The People and America's Constitutional
Tradition Before the Civil War challenges traditional American
constitutional history, theory and jurisprudence that sees today's
constitutionalism as linked by an unbroken chain to the 1787
Federal constitutional convention. American Sovereigns examines the
idea that after the American Revolution, a collectivity - the
people - would rule as the sovereign. Heated political
controversies within the states and at the national level over what
it meant that the people were the sovereign and how that collective
sovereign could express its will were not resolved in 1776, in
1787, or prior to the Civil War. The idea of the people as the
sovereign both unified and divided Americans in thinking about
government and the basis of the Union. Today's constitutionalism is
not a natural inheritance, but the product of choices Americans
made between shifting understandings about themselves as a
collective sovereign.
