There is no doubt the US has evolved into a statist system vastly different from its point of departure. Yet the proposition that the original American model was somehow replaced or subverted by its French counterpart seems historically false and theoretically misleading. Briefly and schematically, by the French or Jacobin model I understand a centralized, unitary state which on principle brooks no regional diversity, opposes subsystem autonomy, prevents or discourages communal or associational meditation between individual citizens and the state. This state, moreover, has rendered itself progressively autonomous with respect to the selection and training of its personnel, its administrative modus operandi, its culture or esprit de corps, and has displayed remarkable historical continuity regardless of social change or actual changes of regime (republics, empires, Vichy)
