This book offers a thought-provoking examination of political service in the United States, exploring the challenges and dilemmas inherent in being a morally grounded politician. The author contends that political service should be held to the same ethical standards as other professions and argues that the current climate of low public opinion regarding politics stems from ongoing moral failings by individuals within the field. Drawing upon historical examples, the book analyzes the impact of the spirit of party and its tendency to corrupt individual conscience, while emphasizing the need for honorable and wise politicians to prioritize their duty to nation over party loyalty. The author concludes by suggesting that restoring the moral integrity of politics requires public officials to be held accountable for their actions and for the electorate to demand a higher standard of conduct from those they elect.
