To the original text of what has become a classic of American historical literature, Bernard Bailyn adds a substantial essay, "Fulfillment", as a postscript. Here he discusses the intense nationwide debate on the ratification of the Constitution, stressing the continuities between that struggle over the foundations of the national government and the original principles of the Revolution.

Loved re-reading this and concentrating on details; history does repeat and this book reveals many of the concepts we struggle with today. Interpreting ideology and radicalism...the concept of the influence of Pamphleteers (400) and examining the15 years before the divide is remarkable. Sweeping and broad inclusion of classical scholars, period scholars and modern day scholars such as George Orwell is marvelous. Incorporations of the many institutional pressures was well balanced and not overbearing. The addition of three chapters examining the constitutional debate, between federalists and anti-federalists has whet my appetite for more. I will return to this book again and again. My only criticism is that sometimes I became lost when the narrator went between book passages and footnotes.
