Commoning customs and practices in the Revolutionary era offered non-elite actors a relationship to democratic power different from the representative democracy that would be institutionalized by the Framers in 1787. Commons Democracy uncovers the democratic spirit, ideals and practices created by ordinary folk in the early nation.
