From the 1890s to 1920s most educated Americans learned about the government of their country from The American Commonwealth by James Bryce. It had also a marked effect on American political science in its early years as an academic discipline. Many of its assessments reflected the views of the reformers in the 1870s but others anticipated the twentieth century. Inconsistencies arose from attempts to reconcile democratic ideals with the actual politics of democracy and attachment to limited government with its steady expansion. The difficulty increased with information supplied by Albert Shaw and Thomas M. Cooley when the book was almost complete. Bryce decided not to make extensive changes in his descriptive chapters but to place the more speculative new material in the third volume (parts 4-6 in the 1893 two-volume edition) which unfortunately attracted little attention from contemporary reviewers. Thus, in spite of the book's popularity, its influence was diminished when it sought to open the debate on the links between democracy and the expanding functions of government. |
