Executive Branch: President, not a King (Federalist Arguments)
from Path to Liberty · host Michael Boldin
American presidents act almost like elected kings, with vast powers and very little accountability. But that wasn’t the plan. Responding to anti-federalist warnings that presidents would eventually degenerate into a type of monarchy, Federalists like Tench Coxe, John Dickinson, James Iredell, and many others went into great detail explaining how the power of the executive branch would be extremely limited in comparison to the British Monarchy they fought a long, bloody war to free themselves from. The post Executive Branch: President, not a King (Federalist Arguments) appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.
