The emergence of the early American republic as a new nation on the
world stage conjured rival visions in the eyes of leading statesmen
at home and attentive observers abroad. Thomas Jefferson envisioned
the newly independent states as a federation of republics united by
common experience, mutual interest, and an adherence to principles
of natural rights. His views on popular government and the American
experiment in republicanism, and later the expansion of its empire
of liberty, offered an influential account of the new nation. While
persuasive in crucial respects, his vision of early America did not
stand alone as an unrivaled model. The contributors to Rival
Visions examine how Jefferson's contemporaries - including
Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Madison, and Marshall - articulated
their visions for the early American republic. Even beyond America,
in this age of successive revolutions and crises, foreign statesmen
began to formulate their own accounts of the new nation, its
character, and its future prospects. This volume reveals how these
vigorous debates and competing rival visions defined the early
American republic in the formative epoch after the revolution.
