By Birth or Consent: Children, Law, and the Anglo-American Revolution in Authority - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press
Holly Brewer
In mid-17-century England, people were born into authority based on their social status. By the late 18th century, however, English and American law began to emphasize contractual relations based on informed consent. This work explores how the changing legal status of children illuminates the debates over consent and status in England and America.
