Summary
I Despite a necessary preoccupation with the Revolutionary struggle, America's Continental Congress succeeded in establishing itself as a governing body with national-and international authority. How the Congress acquired and maintained this power and how the delegates sought to resolve the complex theoretical problems that arose in forming a federal government are the issues confronted in this first paperback edition of Jack N. Rakove's searching reappraisal of Revolution-era politics.

Avoiding the tendency to interpret the decisions of the Congress in terms of competing factions or conflicting ideologies, Rakove opts for a more pragmatic view. He reconstructs the political climate of the Revolutionary period. mapping out both the immediate problems confronting the Congress and the available alternatives as perceived by the delegates. This book recreates a landscape littered with unfamiliar issues, intractable problems, unattractive choices, and partial solutions, all of which influenced congressional decisions on matters as prosaic as military logistics of as abstract as the definition of federalism. Rakove's innovative rereading of history offers a new perspective on the birth of American politics.
