Taking on the Master,

This review is from: Between Authority and Liberty: State Constitution-making in Revolutionary America (Paperback)
This book is an attempt to correct Gordon Wood's "Creation of the American Republic." In it, Kruman disagrees with Wood by saying that the republicanism that guided the American Revolution had already presented itself in the colonies in the form of State Constitutions.By taking on the Master, Kruman has given the academic world a fresh look at the republican ideology that drove the American Revolution (his second chapter is worth the price of admission). Perhaps no scholar in the subsequent 200 plus years since the Revolution, has offered the idea that State Constitutions are the reason why the American Revolution was so radical. |
