图书描述

Generations of students have been taught that the American Revolution was a revolt against royal tyranny. In this revisionist account, Eric Nelson argues that a great many of our "founding fathers" saw themselves as rebels against the British Parliament, not the Crown. The Royalist Revolution interprets the patriot campaign of the 1770s as an insurrection in favor of royal power--driven by the conviction that the Lords and Commons had usurped the just prerogatives of the monarch.

Leading patriots believed that the colonies were the king's own to govern, and they urged George III to defy Parliament and rule directly. These theorists were proposing to turn back the clock on the English constitution, rejecting the Whig settlement that had secured the supremacy of Parliament after the Glorious Revolution. Instead, they embraced the political theory of those who had waged the last great campaign against Parliament's "usurpations" the reviled Stuart monarchs of the seventeenth century.

When it came time to design the state and federal constitutions, the very same figures who had defended this expansive conception of royal authority--John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, and their allies--returned to the fray as champions of a single executive vested with sweeping prerogatives. As a result of their labors, the Constitution of 1787 would assign its new president far more power than any British monarch had wielded for almost a hundred years. On one side of the Atlantic, Nelson concludes, there would be kings without monarchy; on the other, monarchy without kings.

Yale Bookstore偶见即心仪之。八月断断续续读完，近日详做笔记。Nelson此书旨在勾出美国革命中隐蔽的“拥英王，反国会”思想线索。John Adams, James Wilson, Alexander Hamilton诸君自美革命初昌言之，后在1776年时因英王George III不予配合而受挫，但却又借Thomas Paine之力变相延续下来（此节最见作者思想史功力，不愧Skinner弟子），终于1787美宪中发扬光大。对理解美国制宪之主题以及总统制之思想脉络助益甚大。

细看去其实有许多车轱辘话。但问题意识是好的，把整个的宪制争论回归到王权派对论题的设定上，可以做为材料索引。尤其是把霍布斯的授权理论放在王权派脉络中解说，与其物理学结合，可以打开Authority解说之生面。
