The Executive Unbound: After the Madisonian Republic
Book • 2011
In 'The Executive Unbound: After the Madisonian Republic', Eric Posner and Adrian Vermeule challenge conventional wisdom by asserting that the Madisonian system of checks and balances is obsolete.
They argue that the concentration of power in the executive branch is both inevitable and beneficial, as political and cultural restraints are more effective than legal ones in preventing abuses of power.
The book explores how the executive branch has evolved, particularly under presidencies like those of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
