The Political Theory of a Compound Republic

Meer over het boek

Exploring the foundational ideas of James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, this book delves into the concept of limited and distributed constitutional authority as outlined in The Federalist. It includes revised chapters that analyze the application of constitutional choice since the 1789 Constitution and offers a fresh perspective on governance today. The concluding chapter challenges traditional notions of sovereign nation-states, emphasizing the role of modern 'citizen-sovereigns' in shaping political theory and practice in the twenty-first century.
