《大西洋时期宪法:联邦主义时代中的联盟、贸易与奴隶制》(PDF)

Alison L. LaCroix | 2024 | ISBN: 0300223218 | English | 576 pages | PDF | 4 MB

A synthesis of legal, political, and social history to show how the post-founding generations were forced to rethink and substantially revise the U.S. constitutional vision

Between 1815 and 1861, American constitutional law and politics underwent a profound transformation. These decades of the Interbellum Constitution were a foundational period of both constitutional crisis and creativity.

The Interbellum Constitution was a set of widely shared legal and political principles, combined with a thoroughgoing commitment to investing those principles with meaning through debate. Each of these shared principles―commerce, concurrent power, and jurisdictional multiplicity―concerned what we now call “federalism,” meaning that they pertain to the relationships among multiple levels of government with varying degrees of autonomy. Alison L. LaCroix argues, however, that there existed many more federalisms in the early nineteenth century than today’s constitutional debates admit.

As LaCroix shows, this was a period of intense rethinking of the very basis of the U.S. national model―a problem debated everywhere, from newspapers and statehouses to local pubs and pulpits, ultimately leading both to civil war and to a new, more unified constitutional vision. This book is the first that synthesizes the legal, political, and social history of the early nineteenth century to show how deeply these constitutional questions dominated the discourse of the time.


将美国宪法的愿景逼迫到必须重新思考并实质性修改的历史综合,以展示继任者如何被强迫重思和修订美国宪法愿景。

1815至1861年之间,美国宪法法律与政治经历了一场深刻的转变。这两个时期的间歇宪法既是宪法危机也是创新的奠基时期。

间歇宪法是一套广泛共享的法律和政治原则,结合了对通过辩论赋予这些原则意义的彻底承诺。每个被共享的原则——贸易、共存权力以及司法多重性——都涉及我们现在所说的“联邦主义”,即指不同自主程度政府之间的关系。然而,阿莉森·L·拉科斯(Alison L. LaCroix)认为,在19世纪早期存在比当今宪法辩论更复杂的多种联邦主义。

正如拉科斯所展示的那样,这是一个对美国国家模型的基本基础进行深刻重新思考的时期——这个问题在报馆、州政府以及当地的酒馆和牧师堂之间被讨论,最终导致内战爆发,并催生了一个新的更为统一的宪法愿景。这本书是第一部将早期19世纪的法律、政治和社会历史综合起来展示这些宪法问题是如何主导当时话语的第一本书。
