4.0 out of 5 stars Well done, well researched
I used LaCroix's tome to support a final research paper for one of my grad classes. Dense but excellent read for political science, legal studie and history buffs and nerds alike.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting content presented in a boring fashion.
The content pertaining to the development of federalism is quite interesting, and this book does present Federalism in an interesting light at times; however, this book is crammed with way too much "stuff", and could easily be filtered and distilled down to about 100 pages. Some may absolutely love the amount of detail, and over citing of facts, but for the average...

5.0 out of 5 stars a truly great book, November 16, 2010
This review is from: The Ideological Origins of American Federalism (Hardcover)
Im reading this book now. It is a very well written book on the age of federalism. I must warn you it is not written for the lay reader but its still a very good read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting content presented in a boring fashion., January 22, 2011
This review is from: The Ideological Origins of American Federalism (Hardcover)
The content pertaining to the development of federalism is quite interesting, and this book does present Federalism in an interesting light at times; however, this book is crammed with way too much "stuff", and could easily be filtered and distilled down to about 100 pages. Some may absolutely love the amount of detail, and over citing of facts, but for the average undergraduate law student this book just can't hold your attention for long (or at least not mine). The author clearly did her research, and it shows in this overcrowded compilation of historic facts and explanations of the development and origins of Federalism.
