Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses the intense debate on foreign policy that unfolded in America during George Washington's presidency. The nation's first president found himself caught between those who sought to maintain neutrality in the face of war in Europe and those who clamored to support their former ally, France. Amidst the political firestorm, two statesmen emerged as intellectual opponents, each armed with opposing arguments. One, arguing under the pseudonym 'Pacificus,' maintained the President had the authority to guide foreign policy. His adversary, penning under the name 'Helvidius,' asserted that such decisions were the sole domain of Congress. Beyond the specific arguments, this book delves into the fundamental principles of democracy, examining the appropriate balance between the roles of the different branches of government. Through this historical lens, the author offers profound insights into the delicate nature of power in a society that values both unity and individual liberty.
