Book Description
First published in 1866, this book is a surprisingly thoughtful and theoretical approach to politics from an historical American intellectual. Brownson discusses America in the context of (1) what a "nation" is, (2) what a "constitution" is, both written and unwritten, (3) the relationship between the individual and the nation, (4) the relationship between the states and the federal government, and (5) the place of God in thinking about politics.

Book Description
Orestes Brownson's thought-provoking thesis on the US government, the Constitution of the United States, and the ultimate destiny of the USA, remains as incisive and intellectually rich today as when it was first published. Combining history with political philosophy, Brownson casts his analytical gaze to the inception of the American nation. Using a wide variety of documents, including those authored by the Founding Fathers prior to and following the creation of the United States, the author attempts to demonstrate how religion and politics are interrelated - in the case of America's founding, both had roles. Writing in the mid-19th century, Orestes Brownson attempts to clarify what the nature of the U.S. government is, and how the Constitution reflects it. Various natural laws, such as those pertaining to the family and human development of civilization, are examined. Part of Brownson's conclusion is the idea religion must continue to play a role in the USA, just as it has since the colonial era.

Book Description
Orestes Augustus Brownson (1803-1876) was a New England intellectual, activist, preacher, labor organizer, and after his conversion to Catholicism a prolific Catholic writer. He was a part of the Transcendentalist movement, which was popular in the Boston Unitarian community. The American Republic: constitution, Tendencies and Destiny was written in 1865. The preface begins, "I have given, as far as I have considered it worth giving, my whole thought in a connected form on the nature, necessity, extent, authority, origin, ground, and constitution of government, and the unity, nationality, constitution, tendencies, and destiny of the American Republic. Many of the points treated have been from time to time discussed or touched upon, and many of the views have been presented, in my previous writings; but this work is newly and independently written from beginning to end, and is as complete on the topics treated as I have been able to make it."
