Within three years of the inauguration of the Constitution, its
greatest champions found themselves irreparably divided over what
that Constitution meant and how to shape the Union it had been
created to perfect. Within a decade, the division at the heights of
national politics had spread into a full-scale party war, the
first, the most ferocious, and perhaps the most instructive in all
of American history. Never since have clashing ideologies been
quite so central to a party struggle and never has such a giant set
of democratic statesmen argued so profoundly over concepts that are
at the root of the American political tradition. Conceived in
Liberty probes the fundamentals of the great dispute among John
Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and
their followers over the sort of country the United States should
be. In clear and concise prose, Lance Banning clarifies the
foundations of the first great party struggle-and thus of
nineteenth-century America.
