A synthesis of legal, political, and social history to show how the post-founding generations were forced to rethink and substantially revise the U.S. constitutional vision

Between 1815 and 1861, American constitutional law and politics underwent a profound transformation. These decades of the Interbellum Constitution were a foundational period of both constitutional crisis and creativity.

The Interbellum Constitution was a set of widely shared legal and political principles, combined with a thoroughgoing commitment to investing those principles with meaning through debate. Each of these shared principles―commerce, concurrent power, and jurisdictional multiplicity―concerned what we now call “federalism,” meaning that they pertain to the relationships among multiple levels of government with varying degrees of autonomy. Alison L. LaCroix argues, however, that there existed many more federalisms in the early nineteenth century than today’s constitutional debates admit.

As LaCroix shows, this was a period of intense rethinking of the very basis of the U.S. national model―a problem debated everywhere, from newspapers and statehouses to local pubs and pulpits, ultimately leading both to civil war and to a new, more unified constitutional vision. This book is the first that synthesizes the legal, political, and social history of the early nineteenth century to show how deeply these constitutional questions dominated the discourse of the time.


对法律、政治和社会历史的综合,以展示后建国代重新思考并实质性修订美国宪法愿景的压力。 从1815年到1861年,美国宪法法律和政治经历了一场深刻的转变。这些间战宪法时期既是宪法危机也是创造力的奠基时期。 间战宪法是一套广泛共享的法律和政治原则,结合了通过辩论赋予这些原则意义的彻底承诺。每个共享的原则——商业、平行权力以及多边司法权——都涉及政府之间不同程度自主性的关系,我们现在称之为“联邦制”。然而,根据拉科伊克的观点,在19世纪早期存在比当今宪法辩论承认更多类型的联邦制。 正如拉科伊克所展示的那样,这是一个重新思考美国国家模型基本基础的时期——一个在报纸和州议会、地方酒馆和教堂之间辩论的问题。最终导致内战,并催生了一个更加统一的宪法愿景。这本书是首次综合整理19世纪早期的法律、政治和社会历史,以显示这些宪法问题如何深刻地主导了那个时代的言论。
