Paul Downes combines literary criticism and political history in order to explore responses to the rejection of monarchism in the American revolutionary era. He claims that the post-revolutionary American state and the new democratic citizen inherited some of the complex features of absolute monarchy, even as they were strenuously trying to assert their difference from it.
