| Description: |
This book reconnects The Federalist Papers to the study of American politics and political development, arguing that the papers contain previously unrecognized theory of institutional power, a theory that enlarges and refines the contribution of the papers to political theory, but also reconnects the papers to the study of American politics. |
| Synopsis: |
This book argues that The Federalist Papers contain a previously unrecognized theory of institutional power centered on the relationships between and among powers (constitutional authority and duties), organization (structure, size, procedures, and internal resources), and constituency (external social support). The distribution of power among the branches is a function of the relative nature of each institution's powers, organization, and constituency. This theory extends and refines the contribution of the papers to political theory and, particularly, to the study of American political development, which rarely draws upon The Federalist Papers in more than a pro forma fashion. Wirls explicates this model of institutional power and shows how it brings greater coherence to the papers. He relates the Federalist perspective to contemporary institutional analysis and then applies the theory to two periods in American political history. |
