Inhaltsangabe:

<p>Fresh from a battle against monarchy, the American Founders were wary of a strong executive, but they were equally conscious that unchecked legislative power risked all the excesses of democracy. Creating an effective executive who did not dominate the legislative body posed a significant challenge. In <strong><em>The Creation of the Presidency, 1775–1789</em></strong>, Charles Thach’s lucid analysis reveals how these conflicting concerns shaped the writing of the Constitution and the early clarification of executive powers.</p> <p><strong>Charles C. Thach, Jr.</strong> (1894–1966) was educated at Johns Hopkins University and received his Ph.D. in 1922. Specializing in political theory, he taught at the University of Minnesota and Johns Hopkins. He later became a Professor of Government at New York University, where he taught for over thirty years.</p> <p><strong>Forrest McDonald</strong> is Professor Emeritus of American History at the University of Alabama and author of <em>States’ Rights and the Union</em>.</p>
