Pages: 172-85
Notes: Claims that the "muddle-headed" president satirized
by Washington Irving in The Knickerbocker History, who believed in
hands-off government
but tried forcibly to impose his intellectual fancies, is an earlier version
of Wilson's espousal
of the League of Nations.

Notes: Claims that
the contemporary crisis is reducible to the competing claims of liberty
and social order under
legal authority and the resolution lies in understanding the creation and
development of the
U.S. and a democratic republic. These chapters focus on the TJ /
Hamilton rivalry,
presenting TJ as a champion of liberty that undermines itself when
taken to
extremes.

Title: Politics and the Constitution in the History of the United
States
Publisher: Univ. of Chicago Press
City: Chicago
Date: 1953
Pages: 2 vols. pp.xi,708;viii,711-1410
Notes: In
order to explain how "our government became the queer, crippled thing
which it is,"
contends that the original Constitution was subverted by "anti-federalist"
Jeffersonians, who
frustrated the establishment of a unitary system with a dominant central
government by
reinterpreting the Constitution according to their principles. Focus is on
the early struggles in
the Supreme Court, TJ. vs. Marshall, etc. and on the implications of the
fourteenth
amendment. Enormously documented, passionately argued legal history
which will seem
wrong-headed to many readers. Even so, throws light on TJ and his
difficulties with the
judiciary and with Marshall.

Date: 1957
Pages: pp. x, 279
Notes: Focuses on the development of the Republican party on a
broad front but also
contains a good deal specifically on TJ's role. Rejects the idea of TJ as
the organizing genius
who singlehandedly brought it all together, although his political
shrewdness made him an
effective party leader after he returned to political life in 1796. The best
book on this
subject.

Title: The Process of Government Under Jefferson
Publisher: Princeton

Date: 1978
Pages: pp.
xii, 357
Notes: TJ "brought to the presidency the most system in administration
and the strongest leadership that the office had yet experienced," even
though he left
Federalist-designed structures essentially intact. He made the cabinet
system work because of
his talent for organization, his reliance on discussion and persuasion
rather than authority,
and his ability to preserve harmony among men of conflicting
temperaments. He was also
able to mobilize the power of his party, and he kept the government
open to the people. A
well-researched and significant book.

Notes: Argues that the
Jeffersonian Republicans were not a monolithic party and that after the
election of 1800 there
was not simply one struggle over the federal judiciary system but various
struggles on state
and national levels. Furthermore, the attack on the judiciary reflects the
struggle between the
radicals and moderates in TJ's own party, with the acquittal of Samuel
Chase marking the
turning point in favor of the moderates. An excellent work, but it has
more to do with
