註釋The US has had two Foundings. The Constitution produced by the Second Founding came to be only after a vociferous battle between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The Federalists favoured a relatively powerful central government, while the Anti-Federalists advocated the preservation of sovereignty in the states as crucibles of post-revolutionary republicanism - the legacy of the First Founding. This philosophical cleavage has been at the heart of practically every major political conflict in US history, and lives on today in debates between modern liberals and conservatives.
