  • Descrição: The American Founding spent a lot of time thinking about the characteristic problems of cooperation among states, especially within the context of their own union. They saw as dangerous any situation in which one power was in a position to give the law to the others. And they demonstrated the value of checks and balances on power with their unprecedented federal constitution. The last several years have witnessed the emergence in the US of a distinctly imperial attitude. Of all the various bids for universal empire, the one bearing the closest analogy in ideological complexion to that of the contemporary US is that which occurred in conjunction with the French Revolution and the wars that erupted in its train. From the vantage point of the political science of the American founders, US hyperpower today must appear as inherently problematic and fraught with peril.
