The President as Statesman: Woodrow Wilson and the Constitution (American Political Thought)

Daniel D. Stid

4.9/5 (22477 ratings)

Description:A political scientist who went on to become president, Woodrow Wilson envisioned "responsible government," in which a strong leader and principled party would integrate the separate executive and legislative powers--but this ideal was constantly challenged by political reality. Daniel Stid explores Wilson's evolving views on the notion of "responsible government" and endeavors as a statesman to establish it in the United States. Stid graphically describes how Wilson grappled with the constitutional separation of powers, first as an academic and then as president, and he demonstrates the importance of Wilson's effort for American political thought and history.Although Wilson is generally viewed as an unstinting and effective opponent of the separation of powers, Stid reveals an ambivalent statesman who accommodated the Founders' logic. This book challenges both the traditional and revisionist views of Woodrow Wilson by documenting the moderation of his statesmanship and the resilience of the separation of powers. In doing so, it sheds new light on American political development from Wilson's day to our own.Throughout the twentieth century, political scientists and public officials have called for constitutional changes and political reforms that originally were proposed by Wilson. By reexamining the dilemmas of democratic statesmanship presented by Wilson, Stid invites a new consideration of both the expectations we place on the presidency and the possibilities of leadership in the Founders' system. The President as Statesman contributes significantly to ongoing debates over Wilson's legacy and raises important questions about the nature of presidential leadership at a time when this issue is at the forefront of public consciousness.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
