The book explores the evolution of the presidency in response to public sentiment, highlighting the pivotal roles of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. It examines how mass movements instigated by public outrage at Congressional power abuses led to significant changes in presidential authority, electoral politics, and national policy. The narrative underscores the tension between the Framers' intentions and the growing demand for a presidency that aligns more closely with the American people's will.
