Recenzje

'This study's emphasis on ideas in American political development sets it apart from many similar historical works. Yet the careful research on policy and jurisprudence adds a detailed narrative of the nuts and bolts of American politics that is sometimes lacking in works of political theory. Moreno's book is an ambitious, meticulously researched, and thoughtful study strongly rooted in primary sources. It should be required reading for anyone interested in constitutionalism and jurisprudence, political thought, and American political development.' Jason R. Jividen, The Journal of American History
