Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary "Farrier argues that U.S. political dysfunction is attributable to a permanent imbalance of power among the branches of government that transcends party alignments and political moods. She looks at a class of extra-legislative actions that challenges this imbalance and aims to restore proper functioning in the Madisonian system of checks and balances"-- Provided by publisher.
