America Through the Looking Glass - A Constitutionalist Critique of the 1992 Election

In America Through the Looking Glass, 15 distinguished conservative political scientists argue that the 1992 presidential campaign introduced a number of important, and potentially dangerous, innovations in campaign methods that undermined the very system of representative government the candidates sought to lead. By focusing on the campaign's public events, they consider the ways in which a campaign shapes public opinion, informing the American people's understanding of the structure and functioning of government.
