OpinionJournal - Federation: The Case for the Strong Executive

re: Harvey C. Mansfield, a professor of Government at Harvard, writes about the problems of republics, the history of the American form of government, the debates on strong executive versus rule of law, civil rights versus natural rights, isolationism versus imperialism, more.

Ed. note: I'm not sure if he's serious or facetious when he writes, "...As to the contention that a strong executive prompts a policy of imperialism, I would admit the possibility, and I promise to think carefully and prayerfully about returning Texas to Mexico..."...
