"The First World War profoundly affected the American political system by transforming
constitutional law and providing the predicate for the modern administrative state.
In this groundbreaking study, William G. Ross examines the social, political, economic
and legal forces that generated this rapid change. Ross explains how the war increased
federal and state economic regulatory powers, transferred power from Congress to the
President, and altered federalism by enhancing the powers of the federal government.
He demonstrates how social changes generated by the war provided a catalyst for the
expansion of personal liberties, including freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
and the rights of women, racial minorities, and industrial workers. Through a study
of constitutional law, gender, race, economics, labor, the prohibition movement, international
relations, civil liberties, and society, this book provides a major contribution to
our understanding of the development of the American Constitution" ; "This book will
explore the political, economic, and social forces that generated such rapid changes
in traditional understandings of the constitutional relationships between the federal
and state governments and their citizens"
