The Royalist Revolution pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Generations of students have been taught that the American Revolution was a revolt against royal tyranny. In this revisionist account, Eric Nelson argues that a great many of our "founding fathers" saw themselves as rebels against the British Parliament, not the Crown. The Royalist Revolution interprets the patriot campaign of the 1770s as an insurrection in favor of royal power--driven by the conviction that the Lords and Commons had usurped the just prerogatives of the monarch.
Leading patriots believed that the colonies were the king's own to govern, and they urged George III to defy Parliament and rule directly. These theorists were proposing to turn back the clock on the English constitution, rejecting the Whig settlement that had secured the supremacy of Parliament after the Glorious Revolution. Instead, they embraced the political theory of those who had waged the last great campaign against Parliament's "usurpations" the reviled Stuart monarchs of the seventeenth century.
When it came time to design the state and federal constitutions, the very same figures who had defended this expansive conception of royal authority--John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, and their allies--returned to the fray as champions of a single executive vested with sweeping prerogatives. As a result of their labors, the Constitution of 1787 would assign its new president far more power than any British monarch had wielded for almost a hundred years. On one side of the Atlantic, Nelson concludes, there would be kings without monarchy; on the other, monarchy without kings.
Eric Nelson is Robert M. Beren Professor of Government at Harvard University.
細看去其實有許多車軲轆話。但問題意識是好的,把整個的憲製爭論迴歸到王權派對論題的設定上,可以做為材料索引。尤其是把霍布斯的授權理論放在王權派脈絡中解說,與其物理學結閤,可以打開Authority解說之生麵。
評分Yale Bookstore偶見即心儀之。八月斷斷續續讀完,近日詳做筆記。Nelson此書旨在勾齣美國革命中隱蔽的“擁英王,反國會”思想綫索。John Adams, James Wilson, Alexander Hamilton諸君自美革命初昌言之,後在1776年時因英王George III不予配閤而受挫,但卻又藉Thomas Paine之力變相延續下來(此節最見作者思想史功力,不愧Skinner弟子),終於1787美憲中發揚光大。對理解美國製憲之主題以及總統製之思想脈絡助益甚大。

我又来写差评了。这本书的主题乍看起来非常具有颠覆性,但仔细想来,所有反直觉观点的根源是作者对于“王权派”一词含混其词的使用。 首先来梳理一下本书对于“王权派”主张的核心内容。在第一章中,作者提出王权派不仅仅是策略性地主张国王对殖民地拥有专权,用以对抗英国议会...
