Synopsis
Elazar's thesis is that the American polity is best understood as an exemplary manifestation of federal democracy, one of the two forms of modern democracy that were developed in the U.S. at the time of the nation's founding. He explores the origins and character of this federal democracy and contrasts it to the more totalitarian Jacobinism.Book Details
