Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How Presidents Are Made Politics reaches an all-absorbing interest in the United States in the election of presidents. The Constitution of the United States made the president a powerful personage, equal to and in many cases far more potent than hereditary sovereigns. The tendency as the years pass has been toward centralization and a consequent increase of presidential power. The importance of the presidency has increased accordingly, and each recurring quadrennial election is a critical political event. There is a general impression that presidents are elected upon "issues"; that is, questions of national policy that arise from time to time, supposedly every four years. This is a mistake, as few presidents have been chosen on issues, and few issues have been settled by presidential elections. Personality and opportunity have had much to do with the result, and it is interesting to note how often accident or incident has played an important part in president-making. Parties are the natural outgrowth of politics. For the most part men have voted for their party candidate regardless of issues, often when they knew that the party candidate was not the best man and that the party platform was wrong on the main issues. Party allegiance in a large majority of cases overtops patriotic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
