This is the third and final volume in the series on American
political thought edited by Ronald J. Pestritto and Thomas G. West.
The book addresses how the major themes in American political
thought_identified in the first two books of the series_have played
out in the world of modern American politics. The first volume
focused on the founding era, and examined the prevalence of
social-compact theory among the founders and implications of that
theory for the design of American institutions. The second volume
examined the major challenges that nineteenth-century thought posed
to the political ideas of the founding, and suggested that these
challenges created tensions that would significantly affect the
development of American politics in the twentieth century and
beyond. In Modern America and the Legacy of the Founding, the
authors address these fundamental tensions: how does modern America
resolve the inherent conflict between the original constitutional
order and the challenges posed by modern liberalism? The authors
look at the contemporary effects of this fundamental tension on
questions of foreign policy and domestic policy, and on questions
of our national political institutions and the ideas that shape
them today.
