The Heart of the Declaration: The Founders’ Case for an Activist Government

The Heart of the Declaration argues that the Declaration of Independence was not a call for minimal government but a demand for a state capable of promoting the public good. Steve Pincus places the document within an international debate over political economy and empire, explaining how the founders’ grievances reflected a positive vision of government, commerce, and national development.
