Political Parties and Constitutional Government: Remaking American Democracy

by Sidney M. Milkis and Professor Sidney M. Milkis PhD

Book Overview

The U.S. Constitution makes no mention of political parties, yet parties began to form shortly after its ratification. Today, American democracy would not work without them. In Political Parties and Constitutional Government, Sidney Milkis explores the uneasy relationship between the Constitution and the party system to advance a novel argument: political parties arose as part of a deliberate program of constitutional reform.
