Narrative, Interpretation, and the Ratification of the Constitution
I am grateful to the participants in this forum for their careful and enthusiastic responses to Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788. Some comments usefully extend the discussion beyond what’s in the book . Maeva Marcus pushes the story into the 1790s, when the new Supreme Court took up issues that had played a role in the ratification debates, and demonstrates the continued fluidity of constitutional understandings. For bo…
Ratification: A Response to Responses
For good reason R.B. Bernstein and Maeva Marcus had trouble reconciling some of the other Forum contributors’ comments on Ratification with the book they read
Whigs against Whigs against Whigs: The Imperial Debates of 1765-76 Reconsidered
In the essay featured here, Eric Nelson argues that in the early 1770s patriots dropped their previous insistence that Parliament was sovereign over the colonies but simply lacked authority to impose internal taxes, and instead adopted the dominion theory, returning to the constitutional position of the Stuart monarchs James I and Charles I. Examining this remarkable turn toward royal power demonstrates the true drama of the republican turn in 17…
American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence
American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence
Historian Maier shows us the Declaration as both the defining statement of our national identity and the moral standard by which we live as a nation. It is truly "American Scripture," and Maier tells us how it came to be. She describes the transformation of the Second Continental Congress into a national government, unlike anything that preceded or followed it. She lets us hear the voice of the people as revealed in other "declarations" of 1776. …

John Wilkes and American Disillusionment with Britain
N the years between i768 and i770 no English political figure evoked more enthusiasm in America than the radical John Wilkes. Celebrations in his honor, subscriptions for his cause demonstrated the colonists' devotion, which in one instance could achieve the intensity of quasireligious commitment: believe in Wilkes, the firm patriot, maker of number 45, began a political creed reprinted in Boston in I769. Who was born for our good. Suffered under…

From Resistance to Revolution: Colonial Radicals and the Development of American Opposition to Britain, 1765-1776
In this classic account of the American revolution, Pauline Maier traces the step-by-step process through which the extra-legal institutions of the colonial resistance movement assumed authority from the British. She follows the American Whigs as they moved by stages from the organized resistance of the Stamp Act crisis of 1765 through the non-importation associations of the late 1760s to the collapse of royal government after 1773, the implicati…
