In A Machine That Would Go of Itself, Kammen argues that the Constitution has had a profound and pervasive influence on American culture. He focuses on three key areas: the Constitution's role in shaping the nation's political system, its impact on individual rights, and its role in shaping American values. Kammen's analysis is insightful and provocative, and his book is an important contribution to our understanding of the Constitution and American culture.; 8vo; FSA.
