Abstract

This chapter describes the first mode of oligarchic rule in the United States as it emerged from the narrowly oligarchic and strongly federal nature of the Constitution, with a focus on the extensive scope accorded to states’ rights and powers in the initial absence of a federal administrative State. What was not foreseen in the Constitution was the growth of political parties and party patronage as the means of oligarchic manipulation of politics and policymaking in the localities. Together these tendencies led to a sui generis pattern of patrimonial party-State formation that promoted a combination of a constricted but competitive representative politics with the ruthless exclusion of poor whites, women and racial minorities. The chapter further explains how the core features of this mode of rule, namely its private influence over public affairs and its exclusionary capacities, survived the Civil War and Reconstruction.
