In this volume distinguished historians and political scientists
examine political discourse during that short span of years from
the Revolution through ratification, a period of profound political
and conceptual change. The concepts of "sovereignty,"
"representation," "liberty," "virtue," "republic," "democracy"-even
"constitution" itself-were virtually recoined. Others, like
"federalism," were new inventions. Out of the vehement political
arguments and debates of the period came not only a new
Constitution but a new political vocabulary-a political idiom that
was distinctly recognizably American.
