Does Democracy Entail an Obligation to Make Rational Policy Decisions? The Muddling Through vs. Bounded Rationality Debate Through a Lockean and Madisonian Lens
The election of Donald Trump in 2016 has renewed concerns about nonrational decision making in American government. One view of the decision-making process, bounded rationality, is that decisions by managers in public agencies must be based on rational attempts to achieve policy goals. In opposition, advocates of successive limited comparisons argue that rationality, so conceived, is too often impossible to achieve in practice, and that better re…

Highly influential on James Madison’s crafting of the First Amendment, John Loc…

This paper addresses a case in which children's future agency, as well as their current welfare, is at stake and yet safeguarding that agency and welfare conflicts with another tenet of Rawlsian liberalism, neut…
