{"product_id":"debating-and-creating-elizabeth-dale-9781138724556","title":"Debating - And Creating - Authority: The Failure of a Constitutional Ideal in Massachusetts Bay, 1629-1649","description":"This title was first published in 2001. In the tight frame of its first twenty years, Massachusetts Bay dramatically altered its constitutional order from a theocracy to an oligarchy, led by magistrates who created their own authority and defined the limits on their almost unlimited power. Debating-and Creating-Authority examines this shift in constitutional order at various levels and looks in particular at the efforts to create the theocracy and its subsequent collapse in terms of a fundamental democratical flaw at the centre of the theocratic ideal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138724556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138724556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Elizabeth Dale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438154330367,"sku":"9781138724556","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99f7395b-4d29-4c77-b33c-74d9151b6d28.jpg?v=1777169182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/debating-and-creating-elizabeth-dale-9781138724556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
