Summary
"From the founding, Americans' contests over the Constitution and what it should mean for their actions have profoundly shaped the country's political direction. With a cast of characters ranging from Montesquieu, Adams, and Henry Clay, to the transcendentalists, Cherokee freedmen, and modern identitarians, American Citizenship and Constitutionalism in Principle and Practice brings an interdisciplinary and comparative group of scholars to the task of forwarding discussion on American political thought and American political development. The result is an original volume raising as many interesting questions as it answers, especially about the themes of membership and civic virtue"-- Provided by publisher.
