The First World War profoundly affected the American political
system by transforming constitutional law and providing the
predicate for the modern administrative state. In this
groundbreaking study, William G. Ross examines the social,
political, economic and legal forces that generated this rapid
change. Ross explains how the war increased federal and state
economic regulatory powers, transferred power from Congress to the
President, and altered federalism by enhancing the powers of the
federal government. He demonstrates how social changes generated by
the war provided a catalyst for the expansion of personal
liberties, including freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and
the rights of women, racial minorities, and industrial workers.
Through a study of constitutional law, gender, race, economics,
labor, the prohibition movement, international relations, civil
liberties, and society, this book provides a major contribution to
our understanding of the development of the American Constitution.
