Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how debates over ratifying the new US Constitution were shaped by preexisting political tensions within Massachusetts. The author argues that citizens were deeply divided between their natural self-confidence in their own political judgment and the entrenched opposition between the aristocracy and the common people. The author uses primary sources to illustrate how these tensions played out in public debates and the state ratifying convention to produce a nuanced account of America's founding that sheds light on the ongoing struggle to interpret and apply a Constitution born of compromise and dissent.
