Examines the connection between patriot discourse and long-standing debates - already central to the1707 Act of Union - about the relationship among piety, moral philosophy,and political unionism. Mailer's exploration of Witherspoon's thought and influence suggests that, for the founders in his circle, civic virtue rested on personal religious awakening.
