註釋
The central argument of this study is that Canada and the United States differ in their basic organizing principles. It shows how Canada has been and is a more class-aware, elitist, law-abiding, statist, collectivity-oriented, and particularistic (group-oriented) society than the United States. It argues that these fundamental distinctions stem in large part from the American Revolution and the diverse social and environmental ecologies flowing from the division of British North America. Finally it shows how the social effects of this separation were then reinforced by variations in literature, religious traditions, political and legal institutions, and socioeconomic structures.
