How can Americans develop a coherent overview of the presidency?
The Preamble of the Constitution provides a historical foundation
to assess the major patterns, events, and policies of seven
important presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and Harry S. Truman. From the 1790s to the 1950s, presidents have
faced challenges to the meaning and existence of the Union, the
definition and implementation of justice, the necessity of domestic
tranquility, the formulation of defense policy to enhance national
security, the advancement of general welfare, and the protection
and promotion of liberty within the context of their times. This
conceptual framework allows readers to study long-term continuity
and change in the presidency and in America.
In an age of specialization, when most historical studies of
individual presidents are hundreds, even thousands of pages long,
Saunders gives readers a brief, interpretive overview of select
presidents. The elegant, flexible, and understandable framework of
the Preamble provides the historical foundation for the assessment
of the presidency and the individuals occupying this important
office. Readers will be able to use this assessable framework to
study other presidents, bringing the discussion of the presidency
as an evolving institution up to the present day.
