This title was first published in 2002. The Imperial Republic
addresses the enduring relationship that the American constitution
has with the concept of empire . Early activists frequently used
the word to describe the nation they wished to create through
revolution and later reform. The book examines what the Framers of
the Constitution meant when they used the term empire and what such
self-conscious empire building tells Americans about the underlying
goals of their constitutional system. Utilizing the author's
extensive research from colonial times to the turn of the twentieth
century, the book concludes that imperial ambition has profoundly
influenced American constitutional law, theory and politics. It
uses several analytical techniques to ascertain the multiple
meanings of such fundamental words as empire and republic and
demonstrates that such concepts have at least four levels of
meaning. Relying on numerous examples, it further concludes that
American leaders frequently (even proudly) used the word with some
of its most domineering implications.
