GOVT 60.09 Indians and European Political Thought: 1492-1832

This course surveys European political theory in early colonial America. The course is broadly divided into three parts: first, the so-called "Discovery of the New World" in 1492; second, the 17th and 18th century social contract theories of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau; and finally, the early 19th century Marshall cases that laid the foundation for American Indian law in the United States.
