According to the traditional understanding of American constitutional law, the Revolution produced a new conception of the constitution as a set of restrictions on the power of the state rather than a mere description of governmental roles. Daniel J. Hulsebosch complicates this viewpoint by arguing that American ideas of constitutions were based on British ones and that, in New York, those ideas evolved over the long eighteenth century as New York moved from the periphery of the British Atlantic empire to the center of a new continental empire. Hulsebosch explains how colonists and administrators reconfigured British legal sources to suit their needs in an expanding empire. In this story, familiar characters such as Alexander Hamilton and James Kent appear in a new light as among the nation's most important framers, and forgotten loyalists such as Superintendent of Indian Affairs Sir William Johnson and lawyer William Smith Jr. are rightly returned to places of prominence. In his paradigm-shifting analysis, Hulsebosch captures the essential paradox at the heart of American constitutional history: the Revolution, which brought political independence and substituted the people for the British crown as the source of legitimate authority, also led to the establishment of a newly powerful constitution and a new postcolonial genre of constitutional law that would have been the envy of the British imperial agents who had struggled to govern the colonies before the Revolution.

“One of the more significant recent pieces of scholarship in this area . . . essential reading for all students of early America.” —Journal of American History Departing from traditional approaches to colonial legal history, Mary Sarah Bilder argues that American law and legal culture developed within the framework of an evolving, unwritten transatlantic constitution that lawyers, legislators, and litigants on both sides of the Atlantic understood. The central tenet of this constitution—that colonial laws and customs could not be repugnant to the laws of England but could diverge for local circumstances—shaped the legal development of the colonial world. Focusing on practices rather than doctrines, Bilder describes how the pragmatic and flexible conversation about this constitution shaped colonial law: the development of the legal profession; the place of English law in the colonies; the existence of equity courts and legislative equitable relief; property rights for women and inheritance laws; commercial law and currency reform; and laws governing religious establishment. Using as a case study the corporate colony of Rhode Island, which had the largest number of appeals of any mainland colony to the English Privy Council, she reconstructs a largely unknown world of pre-Constitutional legal culture. “The book is rich in social history as well, with the evolving status of women and institutional religion providing much of the legal grist.” —Choice

The prevailing characterization of the seventeenth century English Atlantic Empire as one in which commercial interests are pre-dominated seems to be myopic. Gradually legal and political considerations, as much as economic considerations, shaped imperial policies throughout this period, and formed the basis for the development of England's imperial constitution. Analyzing the expansion and evolution of the Empire on the basis of law, reveals why the Empire developed the way it did and how that form changed over time. Over the course of the late seventeenth century, the Lords of Trade sought to control the legal and political development of the Atlantic colonies. This book illustrates the concerted effort to create a centralized system of legal oversight through the regulation of colonial statutes and the circumscription of law-making power of colonial governments. Legal principles, more than mercantile interests or commercial policies, provided the primary framework through which relationships between metropolitan officials and colonial settlers were mediated. Legal actions have started to become critical vehicles for the consolidation of imperial authority over the colonial periphery. Imperial legal policies should be considered in connection with domestic politics as both undoubtedly influenced the shape of Restoration imperial policy. Although historians have tended to ignore the influence of domestic politics in the development of the Empire, the interplay between domestic and imperial legal politics demonstrates that imperial policies were often forged in relation and in response to political events and ideologies in Restoration England.

European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and systemically. Unlike traditional European legal histories, which tend to concentrate on "heartlands" of Europe (notably Italy and Germany), the Europe of the Handbook is more versatile and nuanced, taking into consideration the legal developments in Europe's geographical "fringes" such as Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The Handbook covers all major time periods, from the ancient Greek law to the twenty-first century. Contributors include acknowledged leaders in the field as well as rising talents, representing a wide range of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise and research agendas.
