About Book

In Peaceful Revolution, Maxwell Bloomfield examines how constitutional change in the United States between the Progressive Era and the New Deal was not only a political and legal transformation but also a cultural one. Bloomfield explores how ideas about the Constitution were shaped by popular culture and media, influencing public perceptions of governance and national identity. The book emphasizes how the Constitution's enduring significance was articulated and reinterpreted during this period of reform, providing insights into the ways in which legal and constitutional ideals have been key to shaping American culture and political thought.
