Opis

Abraham Clark and the Quest for Equality in the Revolutionary Era, 1774–1794 is a scholarly political biography examining the life and ideas of Abraham Clark, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey. The book explores Clark’s commitment to political equality, popular sovereignty, and opposition to aristocratic privilege during the American Revolution and the early Republic. Drawing on letters, legislative records, and pamphlets, it situates Clark’s thought within broader debates over representation, democracy, and constitutional government between independence and the 1790s.
