Description

This title was first published in 2002. The Imperial Republic addresses the enduring relationship that the American constitution has with the concept of empire. Early activists frequently used the word to describe the nation they wished to create through revolution and later reform. The book examines what the Framers of the Constitution meant when they used the term empire and what such self-conscious empire building tells Americans about the underlying goals of their constitutional system. Utilizing the author’s extensive research from colonial times to the turn of the twentieth century, the book concludes that imperial ambition has profoundly influenced American constitutional law, theory and politics. It uses several analytical techniques to ascertain the multiple meanings of such fundamental words as empire and republic and demonstrates that such concepts have at least four levels of meaning. Relying on numerous examples, it further concludes that American leaders frequently (even proudly) used the word with some of its most domineering implications. Review ’Much thought these days demands our attention because of its urgency and it is surely a matter of great urgency to understand the imperial cast of the polity of the United States. It is to such an understanding that this bravura offered by James Wilson contributes enormously.’ Professor Peter Fitzpatrick, University of London, UK ’This deeply-informed and insightful study challenges preconceptions and offers new and provocative perspectives for understanding of the nature and roots of our society and culture and its place in the world. It should be essential reading for those who take seriously the responsibilities of citizenship in a free society.’ Professor Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 'This very fine, thought provoking book provides a fresh perspective on American constitutional development from the Founding to the end of the 19th century...If it gets the attention it deserves, Wilson's book will generate new thought and new ideas from critics and supporters alike.'
