The history of American civic associations

Ideas

The representatively governed federation. Classic American voluntary associations were not tiny and local but converged on federations of local, regional, and national units that mirrored the structure of U.S. government. Caveat: Read in the abstract only; one country's associations.

In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
