Chapter ll1
THE lORIGINS lOF llAMERICAN lPOLITICAL lPRINCIPLES

FOCUS lQUESTIONS

Q1 What llare llthe llbroad llpurposes llof llgovernment?

A1 The llancients llbelieved llthe llrole llof llgovernment lland llpolitics llwas llto llfoster llhuman
l l excellence. llHowever, lit llis limperative llto lremember llthat llthe llGreeks lland

llRomans l l believed llthe llvirtuous llshould llrule llaccording llto llnatural lllaw.

llFurthermore, llvaluesof l l equality lland llorder llwould llbe llserved llthrough lla

llsociety llbased llupon llthe llrule lloflaw llto l l provide llfor llthe llcommon llgood. llIn llthe

llMiddle llAges, llgovernment llwas ll largely llused l l to llfacilitate llreligion lland

llmaintained llthe llneed llfor llthe llindividual llto ll live lla llproper lllife l l in llthe llservice

llof llGod. llThe llrole llof llgovernment llchanged llin llthe l l early llsixteenth l l century llby

lldownplaying llthe llrole llof llreligion llwhile llalternatively ll promoting llthe llrole l l of

lllimited llgovernment llto llprotect llprivate llproperty lland ll individual llrights.




Q2 How llshould llgovernment llbe lldesigned llto llachieve llits llpurposes?

A2 According llto llPlato llthe llphilosopher-king’s llwisdom lland llintellect llwould llpromote
l l order, llstability lland lljustice. llYet, llAristotle lltakes lla llmore llrealistic llview llof

llAthenian l l society llby lladvocating llthe llbest llform llof llgovernment llas lla llpolity,

llwhich llcombined l l oligarchic lland lldemocratic llelements llto llproduce llpolitical

llstability. llThe llRomans l l combined llmonarchical, llaristocratic, lland lldemocratic

llprinciples llas lla llmixed l l government llwithin llrepresentative llbodies lllike llthe

llSenate lland llthe llAssembly llin ll order l l to llchampion llthe llcauses llof llboth llthe llrich

lland llthe llpoor. llGovernment llin lltheMiddle l l Ages llwas lldetermined llthrough lldivine

llright, llwhereby la llmonarch llor llPope ll was l l ordained llby llGod llto llrule. llHence,

llwisdom lland llvirtue llrested llwithin llthese llfew l l individuals llwho llgoverned llto

llpromote llreligious lllife lland llprotect llthe llreligious l l establishment. llThe

llRenaissance, llProtestant llReformation, lland llEnlightenment l l Periods llshifted llthe

llrole llof llgovernment llfrom llupholding llreligious lldoctrine llto l l secular l l concerns,

llsuch llas llprotecting llinalienable llrights, llincluding llprivate llproperty, lland

l l promoting llcommerce. llIn llturn, llEnlightenment llpolitical

philosophers lllargely llappealed llto llindividualism lland llnot llreligious llhierarchy llas
llameans l l to llprovide llorder lland llstability llin llwhich llindividuals llcould llflourish.




Q3 What lllessons llabout llgovernment lldid llcolonial llAmericans lldraw llfrom llthe llhistory
llofancient llGreece lland l l Rome?




A3 Plato llwas llsuspicious llof lldemocracy’s llrule llof llthe llmany llbecause llgood
llgovernment l l would lldecay llinto llmob llrule. llHence, llthe llpassions llof llthe llmasses

llneeded llto llbe ll quelled l l by llmore llaristocratic llelements. llWith llthis llproblem llin

llmind, llthe llFramers llofthe llU.S. l l Constitution llreferenced llthe llinstitutional lldesign

llof llthe llRoman llrepublic lladhered llto l l the lltradition llof llmixed llgovernment llinitially

llexpounded llby llAristotle l l and llthe llRomans. l l This llwas llmaintained llin llthe llindirect

llselection llof llboth llthe llSenateand llthe llpresidency l l within llthe llConstitution.

llAristotle llalso lladvocated llmixing llaristocratic lland lldemocratic l l elements llin lla

llgoverning llstructure llcalled lla llpolity. llIn ll effect, llthis llgovernmental lldesign

l l allowed llthe llfew lland llthe llmany llto llparticipate llin ll the llpolitics llproviding llan

llorderly l l society llwhere llthe llpoor llshould llbe llable llto llselect ll government

llofficials llwho llwere llheld l l accountable. llThis llwas llalso llmade llmanifest llinthe

llConstitution llwith llits llaristocratic-like l l Senate lland llthe llmore lldemocratic llHouse

ll of llRepresentatives. llThus llthe llAmerican l l republic’s llConstitution llestablished

ll institutional llpowers llto llgovern ll according llto llthe l l rule llof lllaw. llWhile llthe

llFramers llrejected llthe llreligious llhierarchy llof llthe llMiddle llAges, l l they llappealed

llto llinalienable llrights llendowed llupon llevery llindividual llby llGod, llper llthe

l l writings llof llJohn llLocke, llin llwhich lla lljust llgovernment lland llsociety llcould llnot llbe

l l impeded.




Q4 What llcircumstances llled llEuropeans llto llleave lltheir llhomelands llto lsettle llin llAmerica?

A4 Individuals llimmigrated llto llthe llcolonies llto llescape llreligious llpersecution lland llcivil
l l unrest llafter llthe llEnglish llCivil llWar lland llto llpursue llsocial lland lleconomic

l l opportunities. l l Colonists llenjoyed lla llvast llarray llof llnatural llresources lland lla

lllarge ll geographical llarea l l where llfreedom llof llreligion lland lleconomic

llopportunity llflourished. llAlso, lltheir l l heterogeneous llsocial llcomposition llas llwell llas

llcontinual llpromotion llof llideals, llsuch llas l l equality lland lltolerance, lltended llto

llpromote llpolitical llfreedom llat llthe llsame lltime llthat l l social llexpansion llof llthe

llpopulation llwas lloccurring.




Q5 What lldid lldemocracy llmean llto llour llcolonial llancestors, lland lldid llthey llapprove llit?

A5 The llcolonists llwere llskeptical llof lldemocracy lland llviewed llthis lltype llof llgoverning
l l authority llas llmob llrule. llSociety llwas lllargely llseen llas llsegmented llinto llthose llwho

ll should l l rule lland llthose llwho llshould llnot. llIn llfact, llthe llFounders llbelieved llthat

llthe ll elite ll(well- l l educated, llland llowners) llshould lloccupy llpositions llof

llleadership. llThus, ll an llaristocratic l l element llwithin llgovernment llwas llnecessary

llto llprotect llagainst llthethreat llof llmob llrule l l historically llassociated llwith

lldemocracy. llFundamentally, llthe llidea llof llrepublicanism l l was llpromoted llas llan

llideal llat lla llhigher lllevel llthan ll democracy. llThis llwas llmade llmost l l manifest llin llthe

lltendency llto llprefer llmixed
