Description

Americanization of the Common Law remains some of the same old works at the transformation of law in The united states from the overdue colonial period to the top of the early republic. In a straightforward manner, William E. Nelson analyzes the profound ideological movement that grew out of the American Revolution and caused substantial structural change within the legal and social order of Massachusetts and, by extension, within the nation at large. The Revolution, Nelson argues, transformed a hierarchical and communitarian legal and social order into an egalitarian and individualistic one.

For this edition, Nelson has written a new preface through which he discusses the book’s initial reception and the relevant historiographical issues that experience arisen since it was once first published in 1975.
