The book is based on Lee's lectures delivered as part of the Julian J. Rothbaum Distinguished Lecture series at the University of Oklahoma, sponsored by the @CarlAlbertCtr.
More great books on the value of representative democracy in the series here:

Americans of all political persuasions hate Congress.
I nominate Frances Lee's "A Case for Congress" (@OUPress) as a hopeful read for America's 250th.
The book added nuance to my own thinking; Lee shows where Congress does serve, even if imperfectly, as the Founders intended.

Come for the incredible Francis Chung photos of @TomColeOK04's Approps lair. Stay for the praiseful quotes from the likes of Chip Roy and Scott Perry illustrating how the gentleman from Oklahoma pulled off an 11-bill miracle. @JAscholtes @ktullymcmanus politico.com/news/2026/02/09…

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi just announced she will not seek reelection after nearly 40 years serving in congress and leading the Democrats for 20. Former Carl Albert Center Directors Ron Peters and Cindy Simon Rosenthal published a book about her time in office in 2010.

We hope everyone enjoyed our 22nd Rothbaum Lecture Series in Representative Government. Our speaker this year was Professor Maggie Blackhawk from NYU Law. Her talk was titled "Colonial Administration: Empire, Civilization, and the Making of Political Science"

After reflecting on the lectures, I think political science departments need to return to their roots and rethink how to define governments that do not fit easily into our current categorizations.
