Description
This remarkable work of scholarship addresses the difficulties inherent in the American Constitution's separation of legislative and executive powers. In his first book, Wilson argues that in the years following the Civil War, the legislature received unfair advantages from the system of checks and balances, threatening the effectiveness of the constitutionally mandated separation of powers.
