The American Republic by Orestes A. Brownson is subtitled Its Constitution, Tendencies and Destiny. The book was originally published in 1865 just when the nation had emerged from Civil War. In this acclaimed work, Brownson presents his view on the nature, authority, origin, and constitution of the American state in light of the problems posed by the Civil War. This edition contains an Intro by Peter Augustine Lawler who compares Brownson's analysis to that of Tocqueville and views the work as one of the most original and important works of American political theory.
