The heart of the Declaration : the founders' case for an activist government / Steve Pincus. by Pincus, Steven C. A., author. New Haven ; London : Yale University Press, 2016 Series:  Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history. Description:  ix, 207 pages ; 22 cm Contents:  Mount Vernon : patriot estate -- Patriots and the imperial crisis of the 1760s -- Making a patriot government. Summary:  "From one election cycle to the next, a defining question continues to divide the country's political parties: should the government play a major or a minor role in the lives of American citizens? The Declaration of Independence has long been invoked as a philosophical treatise in favor of limited government. Yet the bulk of the document is a discussion of policy, in which the founders outlined the failures of the British imperial government. Above all, they declared, the British state since 1760 had done too little to promote the prosperity of its American subjects. Looking beyond the Declaration's frequently cited opening paragraphs, Steve Pincus reveals how the document is actually a blueprint for a government with extensive powers to promote and protect the people's welfare. By examining the Declaration in the context of British imperial debates, Pincus offers a nuanced portrait of the Founders' intentions with profound political implications for today"--Book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 973.313 Pin 2016 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
