What is The Idea of a Party System: The Rise of Legitimate Opposition in the United States, 1780-1840 (Volume 2) (Jefferson Memorial Lecture Series) about?

This work traces the historical processes in thought by which American political leaders slowly edged away from their complete philosophical rejection of a party and hesitantly began to embrace a party system. In the author's words, "The emergence of legitimate party opposition and of a theory of politics that accepted it was something new in the history of the world; it required a bold new act of understanding on the part of its contemporaries and it still requires study on our part." Professor
