Denaturalizing the Founding: Taxation, Representation, and Identity with Andrew Schocket

Denaturalizing the Founding: Taxation, Representation, and Identity with Andrew Schocket

In this episode of Historians & Their Histories, Prof. Andrew Schocket discusses his current research into what the founders actually meant when they wrote "We the People," examining how early Americans counted one another for taxation and political representation from the 1770s through the 1790s. At the MHS, he has been working with the papers of Jonathan Jackson, the federal marshal who administered the first federal census in Massachusetts in 1790. We also hear about Prof. Schocket's two previous books, including Founding Corporate Power in Early National Philadelphia and Fighting Over the Founders, and his broader interest in "denaturalizing" the American founding.

Prof. Schocket is a recipient of the Andrew W. Mellon Short-Term Fellowship from the MHS.
