Administrative State

What if everything you believed about freedom, law, and government was a carefully constructed illusion? In The Administrative State: How America Was Deceived; RJ Salerno exposes the silent transition of the United States from a constitutional republic to a corporate-controlled regulatory machine. This book traces the legal tricks, financial schemes, and jurisdictional sleight-of-hand used to transform living men and women into commercial assets — all under the color of law.

The rise of the administrative state is the most significant political development in American politics over the past century. While our Constitution separates powers into three branches, and requires that the laws are made by elected representatives in the Congress, today most policies are made by unelected officials in agencies where legislative, executive, and judicial powers are combined. This threatens constitutionalism and the rule of law.

Polls show only 20% of citizens trust the U.S. federal government to do what is right most of the time. Polls find the average American believes the nation is two-thirds of the way to "the edge of a civil war." Can the federal government unite and govern this polarized nation? If not, how does it divide? Devolution of Power directly addresses these questions. It provides a roadmap to unwinding the massive accumulation of federal power by returning many domestic functions to the states. By distributing power throughout the nation, the federal government can focus on protecting America while ...

Since the Supreme Court's 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, this judicial review has been highly deferential: courts must uphold agency interpretations of unclear laws as long as these interpretations are "reasonable." But the Chevron doctrine faces backlash from constitutional scholars and, now, from Supreme Court justices who insist that courts, not administrative agencies, have the authority to say what the law is. Recognizing that Congress cannot help relying on agencies to carry out laws, Merrill rejects the notion of discarding the administrative state.

Is the modern administrative state illegitimate? Unconstitutional? Unaccountable? Dangerous? Intolerable? American public law has long been riven by a persistent, serious conflict, a kind of low-grade cold war, over these questions. Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule argue that the administrative state can be redeemed, as long as public officials are constrained by what they call the morality of administrative law. Law and Leviathan elaborates a number of principles that underlie this moral regime.

In The Fourth Branch: Reconstructing the Administrative State for the Commercial Republic Brian J. Cook confronts head-on the accumulating derangements in the American constitutional system and how the administrative state has contributed to the problems, how it has been a key force in addressing the troubles, and how it can be reformed to serve the system better. Cook calls for a decisive, pattern-breaking response in the form of a constitutional redesign to accommodate a fourth branch, an administrative branch. 

Genocide as a Management Strategy It was calculated, not chaotic. A system built to erase. Genocide as a Management Strategy The Administrative Logic of Mass Elimination Genocide is commonly explained as the result of hatred, extremism, or moral collapse. While these factors may be present, they do not explain how mass elimination is repeatedly organized, sustained, and carried out by modern states. History shows that genocide more often emerges not from chaos, but from administration. Genocide as a Management Strategy examines how systems of governance, bureaucracy, and institutional logic...

In this unsettling book, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum trace how ungoverning—the deliberate effort to dismantle the capacity of government to do its work—has become a malignant part of politics. Democracy depends on a government that can govern, and that requires what’s called administration.

Before statutes ruled. Before agencies controlled. Before the jury was silenced. The real law of this land didn’t come from Washington—it came from the people. In American Common Law: The People’s Law Before the Republic Fell, constitutional scholar-warrior RJ Salerno traces the forgotten heritage of liberty: from the “law of the land” in the Magna Carta, through English Common Law, the colonial courts, and into the U.S. Republic’s founding era. He shows how courts of record, jury trials, and ancient customs once formed the bedrock of our freedoms. Then he reveals how that ...

A small coin. A quiet announcement. A constitutional breach with enormous implications. In The Penny and the Republic, James Heiser offers a profound examination of the 2025 administrative attempt to abolish the Lincoln cent—and reveals why this seemingly minor act exposes the deeper crisis of the American constitutional order. From the earliest days of the nation, the penny has carried more than monetary value. It is the oldest continuous coinage of the United States, rooted in legislation stretching back to the Founding era and carrying the face of Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s ...
