Foundations of American Government
The Shaping of America: Foundations of American Government documents every aspect of early American government from 1663 to 1819. More than 13,000 primary source documents—including speeches, legislative proceedings, committee reports, letters, and more—reflect a general distrust of centralized governance as the colonies transitioned from British rule to a new republic. The voices of politicians, preachers, and philosophers reveal the turbulence of public debate about government’s proper function and source of power. – Publisher
