Lecture Summary:
The Obama administration's dramatic expansion of the federal government, all accomplished in the name of "progress," has come at the expense of core constitutional principles like separation of powers and federalism. With specific examples that explain the idea of the "administrative state," this lecture will detail the direct link between today's politics and the Progressive ideology of a hundred years ago.
