Traditional theories of American political development depict the American state as a thoroughly liberal state from its very inception. This book, first published in 1992, challenges that account by arguing that a remnant of ancient feudalism was embedded in the American governmental system, in the form of the law of master and servant, and persisted until well into the twentieth century.
