Washington' s Government shows how George Washington' s administration the subject of remarkably little previous study was both more dynamic and more uncertain than previously thought. Rather than simply following a blueprint laid out by the Constitution, Washington and his advisors constructed over time a series of possible mechanisms for doing the nation' s business. The results were successful in some cases, disastrous in others. Yet at the end of Washington' s second term, there was no denying that the federal government had achieved remarkable results. As Americans debate the nature of good national governance two and a half centuries after the founding, this volume' s insights appear timelier than ever.

Washington' s Government brings together original scholarship on the Washington administration--an important yet oddly neglected topic. The scholarship is fresh and imaginative, and the writing is clear and accessible. --Richard R. John, Columbia University "Network Nation: Inventing American Telecommunications "
