Description

THIS VOLUME in america Capitol Historical Society’s Views at the American Revolution series explores how the architecture of the Capitol is imbued with the political culture of its time. Editor Donald R. Kennon writes, “Simply because the constitutional framework for the brand new nation tailored and reformulated classical theories of republicanism, so too would the creation of its capital. The classical past would function models, however as models to be worked out within the context of the brand new American experiment in republicanism.” These essays emanated from the syposium held by the Society in 1993 to commemorate the bicentennial of the laying of the cornerstone of america Capitol.
