Birzer Masterfully Captures A Man Of Supreme Intellect, Imagination, Integrity, And Accomplishment. Born A Bastard, Carroll Nonetheless Became The Best Educated (And Wealthiest) Founder.

Indeed, Carroll'S Analysis Of The Situation In The Colonies In The Runup To The Revolution Was Original And Brilliantyet Almost All Historians Have Ignored It. Reflecting His Classical And Liberal Education, The Man Who Would Be Called 'The Last Of The Romans' Advocated A Proper Understanding Of The American Revolution As Deeply Rooted In The Western Tradition. Carroll Even Left His Mark On The U.S. Constitution Despite Not Assuming His Elected Position To The Constitutional Convention: By Inspiring The Creation Of The U.S. Senate.American Cicero Ably Demonstrates How Carroll'S Catholicism Was Integral To His Thought.

As Birzer Shows, Carroll'S Fears Of Extreme Democracy Had Ancient And Noble Roots, And His Arguments About The Dangers Of Democracy Influenced Alexis De Tocqueville'S Magisterial Work Democracy In America.American Cicero Reveals Why Founders Such As John Adams Assumed That Charles Carroll Would One Day Be Considered Among The Greatsand Also Why History Has Largely Forgotten Him.
