In this comprehensive account of Thomas Jefferson's
constitutional thought, David N. Mayer offers a fresh perspective
on Jefferson's philosophy of government. Eschewing the "liberalism
versus civic republicanism" debate that has so dominated early
American scholarship in recent years, Mayer examines Jefferson's
thought in Jefferson's own terms- as "whig," "federal," and
"republican." In the interrelationships and tensions among these
three essential aspects of Jefferson's theory, Mayer explaines
Jefferson's response to the particular constitutional issues and
problems of his time. In contrast to other studies that view
Jefferson as a champion of democracy, Mayer's book emphasizes
Jefferson's commitment to liberty and his distrust of
government.
