"In a provocative book, Barry Shain...goes to great lengths to argue against the common conception of an America based on the absolute freedom of the individual to do as he or she sees fit....Shain furthers his case by showing that while Revolutionary America certainly rejected the perceived tyranny of the English crown, they did not think in terms of individual liberties being infringed.
