- This was the production of a longer-form output demonstrating sustained research effort. It is an 80,000 word book based on seven years research including the quantitative analysis of recently-discovered election returns and archival research on manuscript sources including personal papers and rare pamphlets and newspapers. It challenges the pervasive assumption that the present-day two-party-system represents the logical fulfillment of representative democracy, by exploring how early American parties were employed to channel, control, and even curb participation, while contemporaries experimented with alternative forms of political organization and resisted efforts to confine their public presence to the polling place.
