## About this book

Condorcet: Writings on the United States, Volume 1, provides a critical examination of the American Revolution through the lens of the last great French philosophe. This collection of history and political science texts explores the relationship between eighteenth century French political thought and the emerging democracy of the United States. It features essential essays and literary criticism regarding the Federal Constitution and the political culture of the Revolutionary Period.

These writings highlight the Enlightenment values of reason and tolerance while analyzing the impact of American independence on Europe. This work of philosophy and history serves as a primary resource for those studying political ideologies and the colonial period of the Americas.
