Increasingly, observers of American politics claim that we have entered a new age. Formerly, we were "democratic," "republican," or "liberal" married to a Constitution said to embody these elements; now we are simply "populist." In this dissertation, I argue that the roots of populism---and the attempts to think through the responses to populism in theory and practice---run to the foundations of the American regime. For, as I attempt to demonstrate in this dissertation, early American political theory and practice saw a dynamic and complicated working out of the tension between popular sovereignty, and its characteristic expression by popular leaders outside of institutions, and those forms thought to moderate, challenge, and elevate that voice within carefully structured constitutional institutions. From the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to the ratification of the Constitution, and into the 1790s and beyond, the ambiguity of popular sovereignty's relation to the governing order entailed sharply antagonistic modes of thinking about the characteristic problems of republicanism and the practices best calibrated to solve them. Through an interpretation of historical and primary source material, I examine some of the key thinkers and actors within America's political development from 1776--1810. I conclude by suggesting that the problem of populism was inadequately solved by the thinkers and actors of the 1790s, who point forward to the reflections on popular rhetorical leadership by Fisher Ames, John Quincy Adams and Alexis de Tocqueville.
