Good History of the First American Legislature,
By
This review is from: The reluctant rebels;: The story of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789 (Hardcover)
Lynn Montross' "Reluctant Rebels" is a very good work. One of the few histories on the First American Legislature, it is a worthy addition to any collection of the era. Montross correctly shows how the Continental Congress functioned, it's debates, political battles, and partisan intrigue. What is really nice is that Montross does not share the antipathy towards the Articles of Confederation, and it's unicameral legislature that pervade the American "civil religion" today.Congress is seen managing foreign affairs, ratifying the 1783 peace treaty, implementing the Articles of Confederation, and passing legislation for foreign policy and affairs. He also includes the personalities, John Adams, Samuel Chase, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson,John Jay, and other less known, but significant figures. Overall a really good history.
