327   $aProgressivism, organized interests, and the politics of gridlock -- The constitutional principle and institutional design -- Incomplete conquest : progressivism and the legal foundations of the administrative state through the 1960s -- The collapse of progressive institutional design -- Constitutionalism resurgent : the end of liberalism?.
330   $aThe Case for Gridlock explains how, in an effort to make the system more egalitarian and forward thinking, American Progressivism led to the creation of government institutions that increased the political advantages of superior organization, thereby enabling 'special interests' to dominate the policy process. The book makes the case for the Constitutional Principle, showing how gridlock-prone institutions lead to better representation of broader interests.
