Synopsis

This book examines the historical interactions and legal battles between Edmond Genet, a Minister appointed by the French Republic and the United States government during the American Revolution. The author analyzes dialogues, statements, and correspondence regarding Genet's declaration that he would appeal from the President to the People, a move which the US administration considered to be an attack on their authority. The text provides insight into the tense relationship between the two parties during a time of great tension and political division. The author's research sheds light on how Genet's actions impacted the development of diplomatic norms in the young United States, particularly regarding the role of foreign representatives and the limits of their influence within the country.
