Publisher's Summary
President Reagan was a popular and transformative chief executive who chipped away at what he considered a runaway federal bureaucracy to bring a more conservative vision to all three branches of American government. While the Iran-Contra affair during Reagan’s second term galvanized critics, he still managed to win major victories to curb what he perceived to be overreaching by Congress. He exercised executive power with vigor and assuredness, and he systematically reshaped the federal judicial branch to take on a more conservative, originalist complexion. Thus, the “Reagan Revolution”—built largely on the dual constitutional principles of separation of powers and federalism—continued to reconfigure the landscape of American government long after Reagan left office.
