In more than 230 years of statehood, the United States has created
its own distinctive way of living and governing--a way which its
citizens cherish, but about whose essence, for want of definition,
they frequently disagree. Charles Beard offered, in a synthesis of
his life work, a permanent statement on the nature of the American
Republic. To carry out his purpose, Beard discusses, among other
subjects, the making of one nation out of many peoples and
nationalities, the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, the
rights and liberties of citizens, the theory of checks and
balances, the role of political parties, the Republic in the world
of nations, and the coming fate and fortune of America. Above all,
he deals philosophically with the eternal conflict between power
and freedom, security and liberty. In form, the book is a series of
conversations among friends. The author and two public-spirited
citizens carry the main burden of the discourse, and other figures
are introduced to present special but prevailing points of view. In
this way the reader not only feels that he is participating in a
search for the truth, but discovers that his own point of view has
here an able sponsor. Beard has taken a theme of majestic scope and
presented it in terms that are warm and human and immediately
relevant.
