In the chapters following, he explores the ambiguities and achievements of Jefferson’s career, Benjamin Franklin’s changing image and supple diplomacy, the circumstances and impact of the
Federalist Papers
, and the continuing influence of American constitutional thought throughout the Atlantic world.
