Synopsis
In "American Revolution: A Constitutional Interpretation," Charles Howard McIlwain offers an incisive analysis of the American Revolution through the prism of constitutional development. The book intricately examines the ideological foundations of the revolutionaries, emphasizing how their struggle for independence was deeply rooted in notions of constitutionalism and the rule of law. McIlwain employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, blending historical narrative with rigorous legal analysis, making it a pivotal contribution to understanding the interplay between revolutionary fervor and constitutional theory in the late 18th century American context. Charles Howard McIlwain, an eminent scholar in American constitutional history, brought a wealth of knowledge and insight to this work. At a time when America was grappling with its identity and the legacy of its revolutionary past, McIlwain's position as a professor and his extensive research in constitutional law provided him with a unique lens through which to interpret the revolution. His background in both history and legal scholarship allowed him to effectively articulate the complexities of the constitutional debates that shaped the nascent republic. This book is an essential read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the foundational principles of American democracy. McIlwain's thought-provoking interpretation challenges simplistic narratives of the Revolution, inviting readers to reconsider what it truly meant to fight for liberty and constitutional governance. Engage with this compelling exploration of America's revolutionary legacy to gain a deeper appreciation for the ideas that continue to shape the nation.

Paperback. Condition: New. The American Revolution: A Constitutional Interpretation is a Pulitzer Prize awarded history which deals with legal and political aspects of the American Revolution. The American Revolution began and ended with the political act or acts by which British sovereignty over the thirteen English colonies in North America was definitely repudiated. All else was nothing but cause or effect of this act. Of the causes, some were economic, some social, others constitutional. But the Revolution itself was none of these; not social, nor economic, nor even constitutional; it was a political act, and such an act cannot be both constitutional and revolutionary; the terms are mutually exclusive. So long as American opposition to alleged grievances was constitutional it was in no sense revolutionary. The moment it became revolutionary it ceased to be constitutional.
