Produktbeschreibung

Woodrow Wilson, a disciple of Walter Bagehot, considered the United States Constitution to be cumbersome and open to corruption. He favored a parliamentary system for the United States and in the early 1880s wrote, "I ask you to put this question to yourselves, should we not draw the Executive and Legislature closer together? Should we not, on the one hand, give the individual leaders of opinion in Congress a better chance to have an intimate party in determining who should be president, and the president, on the other hand, a better chance to approve himself a statesman, and his advisers capable men of affairs, in the guidance of Congress." Essays presented in this book shed light to Wilsons's political thought and works. Contents: The New Freedom When A Man Comes To Himself The Study of Administration Leaders of Men The New Democracy

Autorenporträt

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was not only a prominent political figure but also an esteemed academic and author. Born on December 28, 1856, in Staunton, Virginia, he rose to prominence through his scholarly work before entering the realm of politics. Prior to his presidency, Wilson was the president of Princeton University and the governor of New Jersey. His academic background was reflected in his profound and analytical approach to governance and international affairs. A key figure in international politics, especially during World War I, Wilson was also a Nobel Peace Prize laureate for his efforts in founding the League of Nations. His literary contributions include 'Essays of Woodrow Wilson', a collection that provides insights into his thoughts and ideologies. A proponent of progressive reforms, Wilson's writing shows his belief in strong and efficient government, as well as his conviction towards the principles of democracy. His work, both political and literary, underscores the intellectual depth he brought to his roles as an educator, leader, and thinker. Even though his legacy is marked by contentious policies and views, especially in the context of civil rights and racial segregation, his literary style is characterized by an articulate and persuasive argumentation that distinguishes him as a significant figure in American letters and statesmanship.
