James Madison Rules America - The Constitutional Origins of Congressional Partisanship

Informationen zum Autor William F. Connelly, Jr is a John K. Boardman Politics Professor at Washington and Lee University. Klappentext James Madison Rules America examines congressional party legislative and electoral strategy in the context of our constitutional separation of powers. William Connelly argues that partisanship, polarization and the permanent campaign are an inevitable part of congressional politics. James Madison Rules America is as topical as current debates over partisan polarization and the permanent campaign, while being grounded in two enduring and important schools of thought within political science: pluralism and party government.
