First sentence: American political scientists have rediscovered what the foremost historian of the Founding Era calls "the major justification for all the constitutional reforms the Republicans proposed" in 1789, the principle "expanded and exalted by the Americans to the foremost position in their constitutionalism," in fact "the dominant principle of the American political system" (Wood 1969:449, 604).
