The Leviathan's Choice
Confederate Symbols in the Contemporary South
This illustrated collection of essays examines the controversy surrounding the use and display of Confederate symbols in the modern South. Prominent scholars from many disciplines explore the battle between pro-Confederate-symbol forces (traditionalists) and anti-Confederate-symbol forces (reconstructionists) as they struggle to reconcile the values and customs of a racially conservative Old South and a racially liberal New South. Should the Conf…
Privatizing Professional Licensing Boards
Because professional licensing boards represent nondemocratic elements in a political system founded on democratic principles, their legitimacy has been questioned in recent years. This article examines legal and medical licensing boards in three states—Georgia, California, and Massachusetts—to determine whether developments in those states suggest a trend toward appointing citizen members to boards. The article concludes that although public acc…

The Constitution and Administrative Ethics in America

The U.S. Constitution anticipates that self-interest will be the dominant motive of citizens and governors, including public administrators. Howe…
Between Citizen and Administrator
For American public administration, the effort to legitimate administrative discretion and convincingly to integrate the exercise of that political power with democratic institutions and processes has been ongoing and closely associated with administrative ethics. In other words, the rise of the American administrative state has been accompanied by efforts to identify and to formulate rules for the wise and proper use of administrative discretion…
Self-Interest Properly Understood
This article explores the relationships among Founding thought, the American character, and public administration. It is argued that the Founders expected that individualism, acquisitiveness, and a concern for reputation would be major building blocks of the regime. Madison, Hamilton, and Tocqueville saw these traits as essential to the American democracy. Currently, aspects of public administration are under attack as endangering these citizen a…
Administrative Ethics and Founding Thought
The American regime] has its foundations in the willing use of human passions and interests, but it has also certain enduring excellences necessary to its fulfillment. Preserving that foundation and, at the same time, nurturing the appropriate excellences is the task of enlightened American citizenship and statesmanship. It is easy to fail; easy to indulge a preference for liberty that exults only in the free play of the passions and interests an…
Thomas Jefferson & Race
Considering that three generations of slaves provided Jefferson the leisure that enabled him to reflect on public affairs, it is not unreasonable to wonder whether he regarded the blacks as "men," equal with other men and entitled to the inalienable rights he asserted in the Declaration of Independence and elsewhere. Professor Richardson maintains that he did-without, however, implying that blacks should be enabled to become equal partners with t…
