Item description from seller

The question has long intruded on American politics. Beginning with the debate between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton over the new nation's future, and continuing through the Civil War, the New Deal, the Reagan Revolution, and Barack Obama and the Tea Party, politicians and activists have sought the Founding Fathers' advice. The pattern started with the Founders themselves. Jefferson urged the Founders to support an agrarian ideal of liberty and states' rights. Washington and Hamilton replied that the Fathers stand for strong national government. John C. Calhoun used their words to support nullification and secession. Abraham Lincoln responded that the Founders stood for nationhood and an insoluble union. FDR resurrected the Fathers as he attacked Wall Street's "Economic Royalists." Martin Luther King Jr. quoted them to fight for civil rights. Ronald Reagan invoked the Founders to defend small government. And President Obama has quoted them to fight gridlock and lend support to compromise. Liberals, conservatives, secessionists, unionists, civil rights leaders, white supremacists, radicals, and libertarians -- all ask the same question of the Founders and suggest contradictory answers. But the founding generation didn't have the same views, even then. They were a querulous and divided group. This makes it odder still when politicians and strategists quote them as though they were in agreement. The oversimplification obscures many crucial issues. In this lively, learned, and witty history of our national habit, The Jefferson Rule offers a fascinating read and an important reminder that each generation must think for itself. Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 1st Edition, 2015. This is a BRAND NEW book. There is a red "closeout/remainder" mark on the bottom page edges.
