Includes bibliographical references and index.
Patriot Royalism: the Stuart monarchy and the turn to prerogative, 1768-1775 -- "One step farther, and we are got back to where we set out from": patriots and the Royalist theory of representation -- "The Lord alone shall be king of America": 1776, Common Sense, and the Republican turn -- "The old government, as near as possible": Royalism in the wilderness, 1776-1780 -- "All know that a single magistrate is not a king": Royalism and the constitution of 1787.
The founding fathers were rebels against the British Parliament, Eric Nelson argues, not the Crown. As a result of their labors, the 1787 Constitution assigned its new president far more power than any British monarch had wielded for 100 years. On one side of the Atlantic were kings without monarchy; on the other, monarchy without kings.
