Reassessing the Assumptions behind the Evolution of Popular Presidential Communication

Anne C. Pluta

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Most scholars agree that the presidency underwent an important evolution in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. However, the causes of these changes continue to be subject to rigorous debate. Using a multimethod approach, I find that the political opportunities and incentives that presented themselves in the nineteenth and early twentieth century shaped presidential rhetorical behavior rather than the president's personal or partisan ideology.
