The Declaration of Independence Created 13 New Sovereign Countries
About this episode
The episode discusses the vision of independent states following the Declaration of Independence and the shift towards a national state with the new constitution.
Ryan McMaken and historian Larsen Plyler talk about how the Americans of the 1770s envisioned a new community of independent and sovereign states. The first constitution made this clear. But then the new counterrevolutionaries like Hamilton wrote a new constitution designed to create one big national state with vast new powers.
