In this stimulating volume, Stephen M. Krason considers whether
the Founding Fathers' vision of the American democratic republic
has been transformed and if so, in what ways. He looks to the basic
principles of the Founding Fathers, then discusses the changes that
resulted from evolving contemporary expectations about government.
Referencing philosophical principles and the work of great Western
thinkers, Krason then explores a variety of proposals that could
forge a foundation for restoration.
Acknowledging that any attempt to revive the Founders' views on
a democratic republic must start in the public sphere, Krason
focuses on concerned citizens who are aware of the extent to which
our current political structures deviate from the Founders' vision
and want to take action. Ultimately, a democratic republic can
exist, be sustained, and flourish only when there is a deep
commitment to it in the minds and norms of its people.
Written by a foremost authority in the field of US
Constitutional law, this book will appeal to those interested in
American history, society, and politics.
