Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-22 00:00:00 Will Farrell The best book I've ever read regarding the founding fathers and the principles that guided them. Incredibly well researched, it helps one understand the motivation of those that wrote our Constitution.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-03 00:00:00 Robert Bonne Once upon a time, I taught a course on American political thought. And this is a text that I used. While there is nothing especially unique in this book, it is a nice and literate chronological examination of the evolution fo American thinking about politics. The first two parts provide a general background--including the English context. Part three looks at the development of revolutionary thought, culminating with the Declaration of Independence. Part 4 focuses on the movement toweard an American Constitution. And on it goes. . . . The book ends with a discussion of "Postwar Conservatism and the New Left." Published in 1972, this does a decent job of covering the subject up to that point in time.
