Jeffrey S. Selinger moves between American political development and American political thought with ease and intelligence at every turn.\" * Paul Frymer, Princeton University *\u003cbr\u003e\"This fine book draws attention to an overlooked problem in the study of the historical development of political parties; namely, that the nature of parties turns in part on the nature of political divisions. Jeffrey Selinger argues persuasively that parties took on greater legitimacy as they came to be perceived as less of a threat of domestic violence or division-indeed, that developing the capacity to stop the threat of partisan violence was itself a developmental project.\" * Daniel Klinghard, College of the Holy Cross *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
