Property in the American Revolution
JONATHAN Boucher was an Anglican clergyman who served parishes in Maryland and Virginia and was a tutor to Washington's stepson before he fled to England in 1775 as a frightened loyalist. By 1797, when he published a book entitled A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution, he had come to appreciate what a momentous event both he and the world had experienced. America had created the very idea of revolution and had influence…
Power and Liberty
This book covers major issues of constitutionalism in the American Revolution. It begins with the imperial debate over taxation and representation between the colonists and the British government. That debated climaxed with the Declaration of Independence. Each of the former colonies became republics and drew up written constitutions with several of them including bills of rights. These constitutions established patterns that later influenced the…

Reassessing Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution on the Occasion of its Jubilee
This essay places Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution in its historiographical context, addresses its implications for the Constitutional settlement, and places it within current scholarly debates on the Revolution. In the last, it argues, the Ideological Origins offers a contrasting vision of history and the historian to the recent focus on issues of race, class, and gender and demand that history meet contemporar…
Revolutionary Royalism
In his recent book The Royalist Revolution: Monarchy and the American Founding, Eric Nelson provides an ingenious and imaginative argument that aims at nothing less than replacing the present standard interpretation of the constitutional history of the American Revolution with a new one that stresses the Royalist thinking of the major American revolutionaries. Unfortunately, however, Nelson’s account does not uncover any phenomena of which previo…
Pierre Rosanvallon. The Society of Equals
In light of our current concern with equality and inequality, this is a timely and important book. Pierre Rosanvallon, the director of studies at L'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, has approached the ideas of equality and inequality for the most part historically; indeed, his book may be one of the best histories of the changing notions of equality in the modern Western world ever written. But ultimately his book has a much …
Pauline Maier
The Problem of Sovereignty
THOSE of us interested in legal and constitutional history have to welcome the publication in the William and Mary Quarterly of Eric Nelson’s article. Perhaps this is a sign that the profession’s interests are starting to shift away from the topics that have dominated it during the past several decades. Nelson’s argument is clever but, as they like to say in the Oxbridge common rooms, perhaps too clever by half. The issues he deals with are not n…
Empire Of Liberty
The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of the USA. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national governm…

Counting Guns
At the fall 2001 Social Science History Association convention in Chicago, the Crime and Justice network sponsored a forum on the history of gun ownership, gun use, and gun violence in the United States. Our purpose was to consider how social science historians might contribute nowand in the future to the public debate over gun control and gun rights. To date, we have had little impact on that debate. It has been dominated by mainstream social sc…

The Enemy Is Us
Of all the isms that afflict us, is the worst. According to many scholars, has been ultimately responsible for much of what ails us, both in the past and in the present, including our race problem, our grossly unequal distribution of wealth, and the general sense of malaise and oppression that academics in particular feel. It is not surprising therefore that scholars should be interested in the origins of such a powerful force, especially one tha…
Rhetoric and Reality in the American Revolution
F any catch phrase is to characterize work being done on I American Revolution by this generation of historians, it will probably be the American Revolution considered as an intellectual movement.' For we now seem to be fully involved in a phase of writing about Revolution in which thought of Revolutionaries, rather than their social and economic interests, has become major focus of research and analysis. This recent emphasis on ideas is not of c…
The Significance of the Early Republic
Until very recently the period from the American Revolution to the election of Andrew Jackson was the most neglected if not the most despised period of American history. Although this has not always been the case, certainly during the past generation or so-during the golden age of historical reinterpretation following World War II-the early republic was slighted and scorned. While historians during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s were engaged in majo…
A Note on Mobs in the American Revolution

From the time of the first settlements on through the eighteenth century, social eruptions and popular disturbances were recurrent event in the American colonies. Mob rio…

The Authorship of the Letters from the Federal Farmer
S EARCHING out attributions of authorship for anonymous or pseudonymous pieces of writing is a difficult business, and historians are forever grateful to those who have devoted their energies to the task. It is also a business of great responsibility, for once an attribution of authorship is made it tends to get bound into the literature, taken for granted, passed on, and reinforced by repeated borrowing to the point where the source of the origi…

The Massachusetts Mugwumps
THE mugwump is an eastern bird....'' So began a picturesque and self-expressive poem celebrating those Independents who bolted the Republican party in 1884 rather than support James G. Blaine for the presidency. And conscience-soaked Boston was undoubtedly the Mugwumps' nest. Massachusetts supplied much of the strength and inspiration for this large-scale split from the Republican party, particularly with the participation of many of its most res…
