The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America (2025) by Jeffrey Rosen is a historical and constitutional study that examines the enduring ideological conflict between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson over the scope of federal authority and individual liberty. Rosen traces how this foundational debate—between Hamilton’s vision of a strong central government and Jefferson’s emphasis on states’ rights and limited power—has shaped major moments in American history, from the Civil War and the New Deal to contemporary political and judicial discourse. By framing American political development as an ongoing “tug-of-war” between these competing philosophies, the book offers insight into the evolution of constitutional interpretation and democratic governance.
