The Rhetorical Presidency and the Eclipse of Executive Power: "Woodrow Wilson's "Constitutional Government in the United States
This essay challenges the common assumption that Woodrow Wilson's exaltation of presidential political power carried with it an affirmation of executive power, by recovering his novel conception of opinion-leadership. Wilson sought to transform the presidential office by emphasizing opinion leadership and downplaying executive power. He thought that reshaping the presidency into an office for opinion leadership would raise the United States towar…
Opinion Leadership and the Problem of Executive Power: Woodrow Wilson's Original Position
This article challenges the received view that Woodrow Wilson provided the intellectual foundation for the subsequent expansion of the executive power of the presidency, by examining how Wilson arrived at his later presidentially centered account of American politics inConstitutional Government. Its focus is a memo that Wilson wrote in December 1885 while preparing an essay on “The Modern Democratic State.” Wilson's objectives in using the execut…

On the Origins of the Regime of Pragmatic Liberalism: John Dewey, Adolf A. Berle, and FDR's Commonwealth Club Address of 1932
This essay stems from a prolonged study of Adolf A. Berle's drafts for the address “On Progressive Government” which Franklin Roosevelt gave in San Francisco during the 1932 presidential campaign. The essay compares Dewey's Individualism Old and New (Part I below) with the Commonwealth Club Address (Part II). The need for such a sustained comparison and commentary became clear only when I began to wonder whether Roosevelt's pragmatism—or rather t…

Political Leadership and Nihilism. A Study of Weber and Nietzsche
Tocqueville on Political Realignment and Constitutional Forms
Tocqueville's argument that great revolutions will become more rare is sobering, if not chilling. But we may warm to it when we realize that it is a prospectus of realignment, intended to raise the sights of democratic statesmen and political scientists. The problem of constitutionalist statesmanship it exhibits is to combine two antithetical moralities: revolutionary morals and the morals of commerce. This paper takes seriously Tocqueville's vie…

Bad Conscience For a Nietzschean Age: Weber's Calling For Science

Doing without Liberalism: Weber's Regime Politics
AN THE INSTITUTIONS of liberal democracy subsist without liberalism? There has been much wishful thinking on this question of late, even (one might say especially)'among liberals.' Indeed it is a symptom of the crisis of liberalism that to so many minds it now seems possible to pluck out liberalism, and yet preserve all that has been achieved in and by liberal democracy, under the protection of its limited governments and on the basis of its libe…
