In a short essay of 350 words, assess whether in your personal view the change in presidential rhetoric and practice from the Framers’ design to the current Wilson-inspired practice has overall been good or bad. Your essay should address and cite specific examples related to such considerations as: policy deliberation, negotiation, and outcomes; the dangers of the abuse of power; the ability of presidents to meet public expectations, etc. Your essay is expected to incorporate material from the assigned readings and current events. The essay must not be mainly a summary of the views of the Framers and Wilson (doing that will earn a failing grade).
