What are the major themes of chapters 1 and 2 in the book Empire of Liberty?

One major theme of Gordon Wood's Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early American Republic, 1789–1815 is the emergence of republicanism in American political culture. Wood argues that republicanism was more than simply a representative form of government, or even a political philosophy. Rather, it involved a transformation from "subjects to citizens," a change that altered the hierarchical relationships that had characterized relations during the colonial period. It also meant that Americans were expected to participate actively in politics, a concept that involved education, which would teach people to act on principles that extended beyond their parochial experience.
Because this is a chronological narrative, it should be clear that in the first chapter, Wood is describing the new United States in the immediate aftermath of the Revolution. The second chapter is an account of the Washington administration, when the Federalists began to argue for a stronger, more robust central government that was anathema to the idealistic republicanism described in the first chapter. Wood describes this as "A Monarchical Republic." He associates the rise of this new ideology with Alexander Hamilton, whose assessment of the nation's problems during the immediate aftermath of the Revolutionary War told him that the nation needed a powerful central government geared toward the promotion of commerce. Later in the book, Wood will continue to explore the tension between these two ideologies, which are central themes.
