This treatise re-evaluates the traditional understanding of the philosophic and intellectual background of the American founding in light of an assessment of Renaissance, medieval and ancient political philosophy. It shows that the Founding Fathers were consciously seeking to create a political order that would meet the demands of human nature and society. This analysis of their sources of political and constitutional theory hopes to initiate an original approach to American thought and experience.
