Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic by Lindsay M. Chervinsky (review)
An Anti-Federalist Constitution: The Development of Dissent in the Ratification Debate by Michael J. Faber
Of all the challenges Anti-Federalists faced during the ratification contest, perhaps the greatest was the absence of an alternative version of a constitution to offer for state convention delegates and newspaper readers to consider. Had there been an alternative, what might it have looked like? Which parts of the broad Anti-Federalist critique would it have emphasized?Michael J. Faber's important book “is an effort to rehabilitate the Anti-Feder…
The Emergence and Fundamental Centrality of James Madison’s Federalist 37: Historians, Political Theorists, and the Recentering of Meaning in The Federalist
Madison’s fascinating Federalist 37 has lagged behind other Publius essays, particularly Federalist 10, in drawing scholarly attention. Only recently have historians and political theorists begun to correct this imbalance. However, even this newer interest has failed to fully grasp the significance of no. 37 or to reconsider its larger meanings. This review essay provides an extensive analysis of the key writings on Federalist 37 to document its …
Beyond Whigs and Democrats: Historians, historiography, and the paths toward a new synthesis for the Jacksonian era
This article reviews 30 years of synthetic works on Jacksonian America and argues that while most are still political narratives, the elements of a new synthesis are emerging. Recent scholarship suggests three broad areas from which a newer, more relevant synthesis might come: slavery, race, and gender; political culture; and the new history of capitalism. Furthermore, some key building blocks of a new synthesis have been emerging in the scholarl…

Patriotism and Piety: Federalist Politics and Religious Struggle in the New American Nation
The past two decades have produced a raft of scholarship reevaluating Federalism as a political, social, and cultural movement. These studies have significantly revised our understanding and complicated the standard interpretation of Federalists. Jonathan J. Den Hartog's Patriotism and Piety joins that body of work by shedding critical new light on the religious dimensions of Federalism and the ways that religious thought contributed fundamentall…

Cautionary Tales from the Clinton Administration: First Year Lessons the New Democratic President Can Learn from the Last One
This article examines the first year of the Clinton presidency and identifies the internal and external factors that led to problems and low approval ratings. It then analyzes the incoming Obama administration along the same lines and evaluates Clinton's first-year experiences as a series of cautionary tales that could help Obama avoid repeating the same mistakes at the outset of his administration

Where the Votes Are: The Electoral Geography of the Coming Democratic Majority
This article offers an historical overview of the last three presidential elections and uses those results to categorize the states into base states and leaning states, providing a glimpse at the current status of the parties' standing in the electoral college. While it acknowledges that the Republicans have a slight edge based on recent voting trends, it argues ultimately that the Democrats have a better chance of capitalizing on a variety of el…
