Description

Popular Consent and Popular Control, Donald S. Lutz provides an examination of formal documents and local history in America before 1800. He recreates the evolution of a government based on popular consent and popular control in the 1770s and 1780s, an evolution that began in 1620, not in 1776. His aim is to correct the studies of American political theory and constitutional history that omit discussions of early state constitutions. He also asserts that the political theory underlying the United States Constitution stretches back to European and colonial sources in the 1600s.
