In social gatherings, families and governments they assume a variety of written and unwritten forms and in every order they determine not only how collective decisions are made but also how and why a particular constitutional order develops over time. Recreating the American Republic provides a far-reaching analysis of when, how and why these rules change and with what consequences. Recreating the American Republic reveals the import of these rules of apportionment by engaging the three most widely recognized and studied eras and events of American political history: the Colonial era and the American Revolution; the early national years and the 1787 Constitutional Convention; and the nineteenth century and the American Civil War. Recreating the American Republic systematically compares each seemingly familiar era and event - revealing new insights and a new metanarrative of American political development between 1700 and 1870. 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$yTo 1775 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1775-1783 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1783-1865 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a320.973/09/033 700 $aKromkowski$b Charles A$g(Charles Aloysius),$f1963-$01843330 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961176303321 996 $aRecreating the American republic$94424451 997 $aUNINA
