James Blythe has several roles and trained him to write in American political and social institutions. He is a historian professor and parliamentarian of Oxford University, he has had various political positions from 1907 to 1913 and has served as ambassador for the United States of America. His commemorative work, the United States, developed at five visits to the United States, and the country was widely read. This book is a savvy analysis of the American scene designed for European viewers and is written by a clearly biased American bias. In Blythe's view, regardless of many deficiencies and weaknesses of the US political system and systems (especially regional and state level), the sum of US hope and desire created one of the best control systems up to this day, Brought it to the world. Hope

The politics of the United States during the last 30 years of the 19th century invited this accusation. In the Federation of America, James Blythe unanimously agreed with Godkin, Adams, and others. This is the most encyclical and critical criticism of America's political life in this turbulent era. However, Blythe is not a congenital pessimist, he does not like the American British tourists of the 19th century, he says little about American customs, institutions and citizens. On the contrary, Blythe is optimistic about the future of the United States and has identified many aspects of the US government and society worthy of attention and respect. Nevertheless, Blythe made a promising assessment and solved some basic problems, but if these problems are not solved his hope will be alleviated.
