Maloy's examination of seventeenth-century American political ideas concludes that the origins of distinctively modern democratic thinking can be located, not in eighteenth-century America and France, but in the tiny New England colonies in the previous century, and that the key idea was not electoral consent but rather non-electoral accountability.
