Does anyone know of some classic (or just good) history or legal-history book about how the American Revolution and constitution(al thought) were influenced by the English civil wars and Glorious Revolution? UPDATE: Right now plausible candidates seem to be Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution and Pocock’s The Machiavellian Moment. Any comments on those two, or suggestions as to what might be better? Works with a legal angle are preferred, but since I’m talking about constitutionalism, regular historians and intellectual historians already deal with these issues, so something specifically legal-historical isn’t absolutely necessary.
