TY - GEN T1 - The Ideological Origins of American Federalism. A1 - LaCroix, Alison L. LA - English PP - Cambridge PB - Harvard University Press YR - 2010 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_on1250082909 AB - In this book, the author traces the history of American federal thought from its colonial beginnings in scattered provincial responses to British assertions of authority, to its emergence in the late eighteenth century as a normative theory of multilayered government. The core of this new federal ideology was a belief that multiple independent levels of government could legitimately exist within a single polity, and that such an arrangement was not a defect but a virtue.
