Neither Separate nor Equal Congress in the 1790s is a history of the first decade of the federal government. Today we take for granted the "wall of separation" dividing the three branches of government. However, those lines of separation were not clearly delineated or observed at first. The first two essays in the book describe the social and cultural movement and social environment of Philadelphia in the 1790s. The following section examines the congressional career of New York's Egbert Benson, the senatorial career of Robert Morris, the opposition of Rep. William Branch Giles to the Federalist policies of Washington and the under appreciated role of congressional spouses. The final essays concentrate on inter branch cooperation and and conflict. They discuss the meaning of the separation of powers the 1790s, Washington as an active president, Hamilton and Jefferson's contrast, and John Adams relationship with Congress.
