Does the separation of powers still work? How can we judge whether it is working? Is is true that the policies of parliamentary democracies are wiser and their implementation more effective than ours? How much must we be guided by two-hundred-year old intentions?
The editors selected spokesmen as authoritative, thoughtful, and instructive to give the reader a wide range of views on these questions. The authors are Lloyd N. Cutler, Charles M. Hardin, James Q. Wilson, L. Peter Schultz, Donald L. Robinson, Ann Stuart Anderson, William B. Gwyn, and James W. Ceaser.
This book is the fourth in a series in AEI's project "A Decade of Study of the Constitution."
Robert A. Goldwin is a resident scholar of constitutional studies at AEI. Art Kaufman is a research assistant in the Department of Government at Georgetown University.
