Harper Lecture: Beyond Checks and Balances: Evolution of American Political Power

We invite you to join us for a rigorous look at the modern mechanics of American government. Moving beyond the standard narrative of gridlock, our faculty panel, featuring some of the scholars behind the University of Chicago’s Battle of the Branches podcast, will examine how shifting dynamics are reshaping American governance—and what these changes may mean for accountability, democratic norms, and the future of the republic.
