Federalist No. 67: Can the Executive Sustain Both Republican and Energetic Government? | ||
in Public Administration Review , Volume 71, Issue Supplement s1 , 2011 , Kersh Rogan | ||
Federalist No. 67 generally is read as a vigorous defense of the chief executive and contains intense language to alleviate fears of a dictatorial president. However, it also can be read as a much deeper explication of the blend of republican and energetic government. The author examines this defense within the larger stream of Federalist Papers and compares the Anti-Federalist attacks against a strong executive and Alexander Hamilton’s aggressive justifications. | ||
