More about the book

The book explores the constitutional roots of political parties, challenging the conventional belief that early Jacksonian leaders, like Martin Van Buren, envisioned a modern party system when establishing the Democratic Party. By critically engaging with Richard Hofstadter's seminal work, it offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of political organizations in American democracy, emphasizing the complexities and nuances of their historical development.
