The Constitutional Thought of Thomas Jefferson (Constitutionalism and Democracy)

by David N. Mayer



Editorial Reviews

From Book News, Inc.
Eschewing the "liberalism vs. civic republicanism" debate that has
dominated early American scholarship in recent years, Mayer examines
Jefferson's thought on Jefferson's own terms--as "whig," "federal," and
"republican." In the interrelationships and tensions among these three
essential aspects of Jefferson's theory, Mayer explains Jefferson's
response to the particular constitutional issues and problems of his time.
