Description: Scholars of liberalism, the American founding, and the American presidency will find Fatovic's reasoned arguments against the conventional wisdom enlightening.
Brief description: Clement Fatovic is an assistant professor of political theory at Florida International University.
Review Quotes: Provides a scholarly review of the discussions about emergency power by those who debated and drafted the United States Constitution and then advocated for and against its ratification. He also gives a thorough analysis of the writings on emergency power by four key political theorists . . . whose work influenced our Founding Fathers' view . . . Mr. Fatovic demonstrates quite convincingly that the importance of contingency and emergency events was never far from the minds of either the political theorists or the creators of the United States Constitution.
