Creation of American Republic Final Chapter

In the final chapter of the book, Wood attempted to demonstrate that the premises of Federalist No. 10 diverged from previous notions of "liberty" as an "American science of politics." The "Federalist Persuasion" for " 'the people' " as sovereign rested, in turn, on notional "interests"—and vice-versa. Government further retained Tory impulses to protect "personal liberty and property.' " Wood declared that "public or political liberty, the right of the people to share in the government—lost its significance for a system in which the people participated throughout." But a potential effect of these premises was the rise of "factions" in government—fearful representatives catering to " 'popular resentment' "or a predominant party. Wood's James Madison aimed to protect factional minorities (and individuals) from factional majorities, as well as the latter from the former. The emphasis, however, was on the perils of majority factions that could not comprehend the " 'public interest' " because "the liberty that was now emphasized was personal or private."

Wood's Federalists were certain that the embrace of personal or private liberty would remedy its own potential effect, ensuring protections for individuals when a legislative faction aimed to define " 'interests.' " In that regard, the Federalist "grounding of government in self-interest and consent had made old-fashioned popular revolutions obsolete." Yet this remedy, "the Federalist image of a public good undefinable by factious majorities in small states but somehow capable of formulation by the best men of a large society may have been chimera." In Wood's estimation, this was neither his framework, nor ultimately theirs, because it destroyed the "social world they had sought to maintain." Wood concluded that the "political theory" was "peculiarly the product of a democratic society, without a precise beginning or an ending."

In his earlier dissertation, Wood had described the Federalist rebuttal as "disingenuous." He also previously depicted this "mutuality of interests" as generating a crucible for "the alliance of power and liberty."

In an "American science of politics", government harnessed "interests," which transformed "positive liberty" into, for instance, the United States public interest, sustained by "patrician" disinterestedness---a refraction, rather than reflection, of "interests."

In an oft-quoted passage from Federalist No. 56, Madison propounded that "it is a sound and important principle that the representative ought to be acquainted with the interests and circumstances of his constituents. But this principle can extend no further than to those circumstances and interests to which the authority and care of the representative relate."

Wood later elaborated on this argument: "...in both the national and international spheres, monarchy and its intrusive institutions and monopolistic ways were what prevented a natural harmony of people's feelings and interests." More recently, historian Carli Conklin added that "the pursuit of happiness" referred to the "unalienable right to then choose to pursue a life of virtue [which may or may not have included "property"] or, in other words, a life lived in harmony with those natural law principles. The result would be eudaimonia or man's own real and substantial happiness."
