Ever since Bernard Bailyn published his great work on Revolutionary ideology, an avalanche of scholarly writing has made ideology a way of thinking about the American Revolution. By understanding ideology as a cluster of beliefs, values, insights, fears, and hopes compelling enough to thrust people into political action, historians have used the concept as a means of acquiring a view of the Revolution from the inside--the inside of the political culture, the consciousness of participants in the Revolution.

Dominion and Liberty examines the sources of ideology in political conflicts from the Restoration of Charles II through the implementation of the U.S. Constitution in the 1790s.
