Examining the philosophical origins of the Anglo-American political and constitutional tradition in seventeenth century England, Lee Ward traces the historical development of these ideas from the Glorious Revolution in England in 1688 through to the American Revolution. Ward illuminates the source of modern liberal, republican, and conservative ideas about rights and government by exploring the philosophical debate between the British and Americans that lies at the root of the American Revolution. His book will be of interest to political theorists, historians, and students of American and British studies.
