Historians and Originalism
The dominance of originalism in contemporary constitutional interpretation gives historians both an opportunity and a responsibility to explain and illustrate how our discipline would resolve questions about the original meaning, intention, and understanding of particular clauses. In response to this challenge, the Brennan Center at NYU Law School organized a Historians’ Council to mobilize how the profession can contribute to ongoing legal and p…
Bernard Bailyn Memorial Remarks October 25, 2020
THE poem that John just read makes two striking appearances in Professor Bailyn's most important book, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution. It appears in full in the opening section and is quoted again in the final paragraph of the Postscript that he added to the twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition of 1992. Bud called this Postscript, “Fulfillment: A Commentary on the Constitution.” In it he argued that the constitutional arguments of…
W endell B ird . Criminal Dissent
In this thoroughly researched volume, Wendell Bird presents his third comprehensive scholarly report on the origins, enforcement, and (briefly) consequences of the controversial and controvertible Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. In two companion books, Bird has analyzed the role of Supreme Court justices, acting in their dual capacity as circuit court judges, in enforcing the Sedition Act and then traced the major doctrinal shifts in the Anglo-A…
The Cambridge Companion to The Federalist
The eighty-five Federalist essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison as 'Publius' to support the ratification of the Constitution in 1787–88 are regarded as the preeminent American contribution to Western political theory. Recently, there have been major developments in scholarship on the Revolutionary and Founding era as well as increased public interest in constitutional matters that make this a propitious moment to refl…
The Beginnings of National Politics
Ideas, Ideology, and the Anomalous Problem of Revolutionary Causation
When properly taught, the arguments of The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution pivot on three issues; (1) how a Radical Whig ideology explains increasing American resistance after 1765; (2) how colonial and imperial differences on ideas such as representation, the nature of a constitution, and sovereignty illustrate the ways American governance had diverged from British antecedents; and (3), how Loyalists’ failure to recognize the dept…
Thinking Like a Constitution
Four passages or developments in the formative era of American constitutionalism illustrate what these dual aspects of "thinking like a constitution" meant in practice. It is easy to subsume Federalist 10 and 47 under this rubric, and to admire how James Madison simultaneously appropriates and undermines Montesquieu&s;s authority. But such an account cannot capture the course of empirical analysis and abstract theorizing for which these public es…

The Heart of the Declaration
This book can be read as an extended appendix to its author's major revisionist work 1688: The First Modern Revolution (2009). That massively researched study portrayed the Glorious Revolution not as a moderate and sensibly English response to a dynastic crisis, but as a profound struggle between rival coalitions committed to two strikingly different conceptions of a modern imperial state. The Heart of the Declaration is a more modest venture. Tw…

Nature and History in American Political Development
Taking the Prerogative out of the Presidency
Claims for the inherent authority of the executive over issues of national security imply that the adopters of the Constitution relied on prior British definitions equating executive power and royal prerogative. These claims cannot survive the scrutiny of key sources, including Locke's treatment of the federative power in his Second Treatise , the Federal Convention's debates over the presidency, and the famous 1793 exchange between Hamilton and …

Rationality, Inaccurate Mental Models, and Self-confirming Equilibrium
Rational choice theorists have long been ambivalent about the rationality postulate. Although many agree that humans have imperfect foresight and inaccurate understandings of the world within which they act, no satisfactory approach relaxing the rationality postulates exists. In this article, we apply a new method that allows us to model directly rational action when agents have incomplete or inaccurate mental models of their world. In particular…

The historiography of the issue of federalism, often referred to as rights, is lengthy list of specific case studies. Books and essays abound on Hamilton's bank proposal, M'Culloch v. Maryland, and the nullification crisis, but one has attempted to weave these numerous events into continuing h…
Words, Deeds, and Guns
reached the Supreme Court since Hitler invaded Poland, its twenty-seven words are now among the most familiar passages of the Constitution. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The familiarity of this text is, perhaps perversely, a function of the fact that the justices, in their wisdom or discretion, have not revisited their holding in the…

The Republic of Letters
For the first fifty years of the new nation's existence, they formed a personal and political partnership, jointly working out the ideology of democracy and the practice of representative government. The collaboration began in 1776, when Jefferson and Madison met as members of the Virginia House of Delegates, and ended fifty years later, when Jefferson died. They exchanged nearly 1,250 letters, running the gamut from short notes (Will you come an…

Gordon S. Wood, the "Republican Synthesis," and the Path Not Taken
A WEEK or two into my first graduate seminar, Professor Bernard Bailyn sent me to the university archives in Widener Library to take a look at Gordon Wood's dissertation. Fortunately (at least for me), I was too untutored at the time to grasp just how prodigious a work lay before me. It was clearly an impressive production, but since it did not appear immediately relevant to my topic, it was not until the following year that I first read through …
