In this study, Smith delves into the underlying principles of the American government and critically examines its operational realities as contrasted with the intent of the framers of the Constitution. He reflects on the evolution of the government's structure and its relationship with democracy, illuminating the disparities between the idealistic views of the founding fathers and the pragmatic workings of the government of his time.
