Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"In this brilliant historical classic, Dan Sisson argues that Thomas
Jefferson
thought democratic revolutions would be necessary from time to time to break the grip of autocratic factions on the government. That is
how
Jefferson
saw the election of 1800--and the lessons for
today
couldn't be more obvious. Most historians celebrate
Jefferson
's victory over Adams in
1800
as the beginning of the two-party system, but
Jefferson
would have been horrified by this interpretation. Drawing on the understanding of
faction
,
revolution
, and conspiracy reflected in the writings of the Founders, Sisson makes it clear that they, like
Jefferson
, envisioned essentially a nonparty state."--From publisher.
