The Constitution and the American Political Tradition

Overview:

Since 1900, combined government spending in the United States—local, state, and federal—has grown from less than eight percent of GDP to nearly forty percent. In addition, the people’s representatives have abdicated their constitutional legislative power to executive agencies, agencies which now exercise all three functions of government. Although these trends indicate America has moved away from the Founders’ understanding of constitutionally limited government, self-government can be restored through a revival of a constitutional understanding of public policy.
