| Summary: | Foundations of American Political Thought: Readings and Commentary explains American historical concepts and key political ideas from 1620 to 1910. In this primer for democracy, all verbatim passages and original documents point to their original intentions and ideological movements. Key terms and basic terminology are incisive and essential for a thorough understanding of democracy. This book represents the setting and trends that produced sound progress in American political growth. «Many de facto and de jura governments in the international system are operated by various elites who, having seized the state apparatus, plunder resources; corrupt national legitimacy and viability; and facilitate individual/clique profiteering, group supremacy, ethnic and/or theocratic revenge, ruthless control, and exploitation of the population. Contrast this with the perhaps imperfect nation-building and institutional development brilliantly examined here.» (Jesse Goldstaub, Retired International Operations Advisor) |
