SUMMARY
"The history of American political life in the first 50 years of independence is throughly worth reading....Jefferson and Madison contended with the very issues that drive public life today. The Whiskey Rebellion and Shays Rebellion raised questions that parallel those raised now by militias. The abuses of our political campaigns are no patch on those of the election of 1800. Like all good history, these letters upset rather than confirm any ideas we bring to them. We are fortunate to have the inconvenient, unsettling and extraordinary letters of Jefferson and Madison to read. We need their example and advice."Smith, James Morton is the author of 'Republic of Letters The Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 1776-1826' with ISBN 9780393036916 and ISBN 039303691X.
