In The Rhetorical Presidency, Jeffrey Tulis argues that the
president's relationship to the public has changed dramatically
since the Constitution was enacted: while previously the president
avoided any discussions of public policy so as to avoid
demagoguery, the president is now expected to go directly to the
public, using all the tools of rhetoric to influence public policy.
This has effectively created a "second" Constitution that has been
layered over, and in part contradicts, the original one. In our
volume, scholars from different subfields of political science
extend Tulis's perspective to the judiciary and Congress; locate
the origins of the constitutional change in the Progressive Era;
highlight the role of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and the
mass media in transforming the presidency; discuss the nature of
demagoguery and whether, in fact, rhetoric is undesirable; and
relate the rhetorical presidency to the public's ignorance of the
workings of a government more complex than the Founders imagined.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical
Review: A Journal of Politics and Society.
