The American Republic: Its Constitution, Tendencies, and Destiny is a political science classic by O.A. Brownson. In the volume which, with much diffidence, is here offered to the public, I have given, as far as I have considered it worth giving, my whole thought in a connected form on the nature, necessity, extent, authority, origin, ground, and constitution of government, and the unity, nationality, constitution, tendencies, and destiny of the American Republic. Contents: Introduction -- Government -- Origin of government -- Origin of government, continued -- Origin of government, continued -- Origin of government, concluded -- Constitution of government -- Constitution of government, concluded -- The United States -- Constitution of the United States -- The Constitution, continued -- Secession -- Reconstruction -- Political tendencies -- Destiny: political and religious.
