Empire & Nation, 2nd Edition - Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania / Letters from a Federal Farmer (Hardcover, 2 Revised Edition)

Two series of letters that have been considered as the wellspring of nearly all ensuing debate on the limits of governmental power in the United states are collected in this volume. Together, the two writers' addresses a range of issues provoked by the crisis of British policies in North America. John Dickinson wrote his letters in opposition to the Townshend Acts by which the British parliament in 1767 proposed to reorganize colonial customs. Richard Henry Lee wrote as an anti-federalist. Both sets of letters deal with the problem of the distribution of power in a broad and complex federal system.
