""Power, Morals, and the Founding Fathers: Essays in the Interpretation of American Enlightenment"" by Adrienne Koch is a collection of essays that explore the ideas and values of the American Enlightenment and their influence on the founding of the United States. The book examines the moral and political philosophy of figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, and their views on power, democracy, and individual rights. Koch also explores the religious and cultural context of the American Enlightenment, and how it shaped the country's founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the intellectual and ideological underpinnings of the American Revolution and the formation of the United States as a nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
