Aprašymas

"The best explanation that I have seen for our distinctive combination of faith, hope and naivete concerning the governmental process." -Michael Kamman, Washington PostThis book makes the provocative case here that America has remained politically stable because the Founding Fathers invented the idea of the American people and used it to impose a government on the new nation. His landmark analysis shows how the notion of popular sovereignty-the unexpected offspring of an older, equally fictional notion, the "divine right of kings"-has worked in our history and remains a political force today.
