Debating – and Creating – Authority : The Failure of a Constitutional Ideal in Massachusetts Bay, 1629-1649 Paperback / softback
by Elizabeth Dale
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Paperback / softback
Description
This title was first published in 2001. In the tight frame of its first twenty years, Massachusetts Bay dramatically altered its constitutional order from a theocracy to an oligarchy, led by magistrates who created their own authority and defined the limits on their almost unlimited power.
Debating-and Creating-Authority examines this shift in constitutional order at various levels and looks in particular at the efforts to create the theocracy and its subsequent collapse in terms of a fundamental democratical flaw at the centre of the theocratic ideal.
