Wilson's Congressional Government
February 12, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics," by Woodrow Wilson. The introductory chapter shows how steadily the Federal Government has extended its power over the U.S., the probability that this tendency will still further increase, and the consequent necessity that the machinery of the Government shall be carefully studied and corrected, so that it may be fitted for the momentous duties which, with the growth of population and wealth, await it. Wilson shows how Congress has absorbed all the powers of the Government, reducing Executive and Supreme Court to comparative and constantly increasing insignificance.
