By exploring both the public actions and private papers of key figures like Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, and Alexander Hamilton, as well as less famous politicians such as Senators William Maclay and William Plumer, Freeman reveals an alien and profoundly unstable political world grounded on the code of honor. In the absence of a party system and with few examples to guide America's great experiment in republican governance, national politicians monitored their conduct and attacked their rivals according to the ethic of honor."Political cultureUnited StatesHistory18th centuryPolitics and cultureUnited StatesHistory18th centuryElite (Social sciences)United StatesPolitical activityHistory18th centuryHonorPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and government1789-1815United StatesSocial conditionsTo 1865Political cultureHistoryPolitics and cultureHistoryElite (Social sciences)Political activityHistoryHonorPolitical aspectsHistory306.2/0973/09034Freeman Joanne B.1962-1169418MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824634303321Affairs of Honor4112463UNINA
