At the foundations of our modern conception of open government are
a handful of disgruntled citizens in the Progressive Era who
demanded accountability from their local officials, were rebuffed,
and then brought their cases to court. Drawing on newspaper
accounts, angry letters to editors, local histories, and court
records, David Ress uncovers a number of miniature yet critical
moments in the history of government accountability, tracing its
decline as the gap between citizens and officials widened with the
idea of the community as corporation and citizens as consumers.
Together, these moments tell the story of how a nation thought
about democracy and the place of the individual in an increasingly
complex society, with important lessons for policy makers,
journalists, and activists today.
