Many Americans assume that the country was founded by skeptics of “big government,†who saw minimal state power as freedom’s prerequisite. Annelien de Dijn takes on this myth. In fact, this was the view not of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century revolutionaries who created modern democracies, but of their critics and opponents.
