Overview

This book makes the provocative case here that America has remained politically stable because the Founding Fathers invented the idea of the American people and used it to impose a government on the new nation. His landmark analysis shows how the notion of popular sovereignty--the unexpected offspring of an older, equally fictional notion, the "divine right of kings"--has worked in our history and remains a political force today.
