1. The Jeffersonians
The Visionary Majority
A reinterpretation of early American political life that traces the Jeffersonian movement’s origins in a commitment to limited federal power, strict construction of the Constitution, agrarian republicanism, states’ rights, and individual liberty; it follows how Jeffersonian leaders resisted Hamiltonian centralization, promoted free trade and local government, shaped policy across the administrations of the early Republic, and ultimately saw their principles contested, transformed, and marginalized — arguing that understanding this struggle is essential to comprehending the constitutional and political development of the United States.
