A Necessary Return to First Principles
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Burnham's book is an outstanding historical overview of the nature of Congress as an institution. The strength of the work is in its thoughtful application of founding principles to the historical working and devolution of Congress up until the late 1950s. As such, the reader should not expect the book to deliver much in the way of specific therapeutic prescriptions for contemporary problems; it is far better utilized as a sobering reminder of basic requirements for an ordered republic, with current students of the American regime doing the applicative work to the issues of our own time.
