Liberty, State & Union
註釋Bassani surveys Jefferson's views in the twofold articulation---the rights of man and state's rights---that represents the core of all his political ideas. While recent scholarship on the subject tends to portray a union devotee, nonindividualistic, antiproperty-rights Jefferson, with possible communitarian, if not even protosocialist undertones, this work will do Jefferson justice. After careful examination of Jefferson's political theory, the readers will recognize the third president as a champion of limited government, natural rights, and antagonism of the states towards interference by federal powers. --Book Jacket.
