Donald Trump's presidency made many Americans wonder whether our system of checks and balances would prove robust enough to withstand an onslaught from a despotic chief executive. In The Specter of Dictatorship, David Driesen analyzes the chief executive's role in the democratic decline of Hungary, Poland, and Turkey and argues that an insufficiently constrained presidency is one of the most important systemic threats to democracy. Driesen urges the U.S. to learn from the mistakes of these failing democracies. Their experiences suggest, Driesen shows, that the Court must eschew its reliance on and expansion of the "unitary executive theory" recently endorsed by the Court and apply a less deferential approach to presidential authority, invoked to protect national security and combat emergencies, than it has in recent years. Ultimately, Driesen argues that concern about loss of democracy should play a major role in the Court's jurisprudence, because loss of democracy can prove irreversible. As autocracy spreads throughout the world, maintaining our democracy has become an urgent matter"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States. 650 0 $a Separation of powers $z United States. 650 0 $a Political questions and judicial power $z United States. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Political questions and judicial power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069674 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 650 7 $a Separation of powers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112740 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Driesen, David M. $t Specter of dictatorship. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2021 $z 9781503628625 $w (DLC) 2021011350 830 0 $a Stanford studies in law and politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B7C9D3CFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
