Drawing on previously unexamined documents, this biography connects Stephen Douglas's development as an adolescent and young man to his identification with the Democratic Party, his constitutionalism and his intimacy with crowds. His relationships with his mother, teachers, brothers-in-law, other men and two wives are explored in depth. His story illuminates the gap between democracy then and today.
