[BONUS] In Pursuit of Utopia #4: Common Sense
About this episode
Was the American Revolution a Utopian project? Or was it, in fact, the least Utopian political movement of all? The early Republic certainly afforded its citizens a great deal of political freedom, though it simultaneously suppressed the political freedoms of its non-citizen residents. Also, despite the theoretical constraints its Constitution put on governmental growth, the United States has grown into perhaps the largest and most globally-present power on the face of the Earth. In this show, the motivations and consequences of its creation are discussed.
