The primary focus of this groundbreaking work, according to its authors, is "to let American Indian voices be heard on the issue of Iroquois political theory and its role in the development of American governmental structures."

Exemplar of Liberty is a definitive study of how the founders of the United States combined European, American, and Indian ideas into a new and revolutionary political system.
