Preface
Entering our third century as a nation, we should be reminded that this Republic began in the minds of its citizens as much as in the actions of a few revolutionaries. The great state documents of our historythe Declaration of Independence and the Constitutionwere products of ideas that had circulated widely in the colonies and in the infant Revolutionary nation. That is, serious discourse about the nature of government and society in the modern age took place throughout the country.
