Civil Government in the United States Considered With Some Reference to its Origins

In this classic work, John Fiske provides a detailed analysis of the origins and development of civil government in the United States. He traces the historical development of American government, and examines the impact of liberalism, democracy, and federalism on the structure and function of the state. Fiske argues that the success of American government is due in large part to its emphasis on individual rights and freedoms, and to the balance of power between different branches of government.
