Description:
Note on first edition: TJ because of his overriding concern for individual liberty customarily thought of organization from the bottom up. He attempted to control the exercise of power in space by decentralization and to control it in time by regular rotation in office. "Hamilton is our great teacher of the organization and administration of public power; Jefferson, our chief expositor of its control."--Frank Shuffelton. Second edition of work originally published in 1944. Adds a new introduction, arguing for the continuing relevance of TJ and Hamilton as standards by which to judge the practice of government. Text otherwise unchanged from first edition. -- Frank Shuffelton.
