Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xii, 296, [4] pages. Notes. Sources. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. William Lee Miller (April 21, 1926 - May 27, 2012) was an American journalist, academic, and historian who taught at the University of Virginia for 17 years, and remained affiliated with the University after his 1999 retirement. Between 1953 and 1965, Miller contributed to The Reporter. He was on staff at that publication between 1955 and 1958. In 1964, he released a collection of those writings in book form, titled Piety Along the Potomac. Miller worked as the chief speechwriter for Adlai Stevenson II during the 1956 U.S. presidential election. Between 1963 and 1969, while an associate professor at Yale University. He later worked in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, writing messages to be used by President Lyndon Johnson. Miller taught at Smith College, Yale University, and Indiana University before joining the faculty of the University of Virginia in 1982. At the time of his retirement from the University of Virginia, Miller was Commonwealth Professor of Political and Social Thought, and after his retirement until his death he was the White Burkett Miller Center Scholar in Residence, Professor Emeritus. "Good fortune offered this nation an unusual chance at ideal nation-forming and. some honorable leaders seized that chance, " writes William Lee Miller in The Business of May Next, and none among the founders made more of the opportunity than did James Madison, subject of this engaging work. Madison is depicted during the critical years between 1784 and 1791, when he was so active in articulating the governmental aims of the fledgling nation that he sometimes found himself in official dialogue with himself. More than simply a historical and biographical account, the book traces Madison's political and theoretical development as a means of illuminating its larger theme, the moral and intellectual underpinnings of the American nation. With a sound grasp of his material and a refreshing style Miller reveals how Madison's research into republics and his influence on the writing of the Constitution are central to the values for which the nation stands. From an examination of Madison's notes, Miller traces Madison's early research into other republics and their weaknesses. He reveals how Madison's thinking shaped the Virginia Plan, which, in turn, shaped the United States Constitution and the nation's institutions. The author writes that Madison sought the strands of Republicanism in history and gave republican ideals new and lasting institutional expression. He shows how the making of republican institutions became a collaboration, and how the newly created institutions contained within themselves provision for their own continuing alteration and for the involvement and influence of collective humanity down through the years. Miller follows Madison through the Constitutional Convention("the business of May next") to the great national argument on behalf of the Constitution, notably through the Federalist papers. Of particular interest are his discussions of the constitutional deliberations over religious freedom and the institution of slavery. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…
