Autorenporträt
J. Allen Smith (1860–1927) was a prominent legal scholar and political scientist whose work at the turn of the 20th century provided incisive commentary on the American political system. His seminal work, 'The Spirit of American Government: A Study Of The Constitution: Its Origin, Influence And Relation To Democracy,' published in 1907, stands as a crucial text in the annals of American political theory. In this study, Smith delves into the underlying principles of the American government and critically examines its operational realities as contrasted with the intent of the framers of the Constitution. He reflects on the evolution of the government's structure and its relationship with democracy, illuminating the disparities between the idealistic views of the founding fathers and the pragmatic workings of the government of his time.
