Excerpt from Congressional Control of Foreign Relations During the American Revolution 1774-1789 Men who lived in 1790, lived in about the same way as the men of 1730, in spite of the fact that the sovereignty of the coun try had radically changed during the intervening period. The fact is, the governmental changes had come so gradually that the common citizen was little affected by them. This fact illustrates in a marked way, the essential unity and continuity of history.
