The Varieties of Political Experience in Eighteenth-Century AmericaUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 05/05/2015 - 376 páginas On the eve of the American Revolution there existed throughout the British-American colonial world a variety of contradictory expectations about the political process. Not only was there disagreement over the responsibilities of voters and candidates, confusion extended beyond elections to the relationship between elected officials and the populations they served. So varied were people's expectations that it is impossible to talk about a single American political culture in this period. |
