Program Details

COURSE DESCRIPTION
We will ask how challenges to democracy and the rule of law have manifested themselves from 1968 to the present. What was the nature of the Nixon constitutional/political problem. How was Reagan different? What about Democratic presidents? And is Trump a completely new sort of problem.

COURSE LEADER
Stan Katz is a former Woodrow Wilson School professor, trained in History and Law.
