Description

Elihu Root's "Experiments in Government and the Essentials of the Constitution" is a thought-provoking work. The book examines the principles and dynamics that underpin various forms of governance, with a focus on the essential characteristics of the United States Constitution. Elihu Root, a distinguished American lawyer, diplomat, and statesman, deconstructs the complexity of diverse governmental systems using their extensive legal and political understanding. He uses historical examples and current events to highlight the benefits and drawbacks of various kinds of government. The book revolves around Root's assessment of the United States Constitution. He dissects the basic sections of the Constitution, highlighting their importance in shaping the American nation and fostering democratic governance. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others creep up on you and draw you in slowly.

He pioneered the American practice of international law in both posts, as well as over a long legal career.

He was also a United States Senator from New York and earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 1912.
