### George Will, American Exceptionalism, Constitutional Restraints

On the Charlie Rose show, George Will defines American exceptionalism as the creation of a government designed to get out of the way of individual liberty. Will contrasts the Madisonian view of a "safe" government full of blocking mechanisms with the progressive agenda of Woodrow Wilson, who sought a more "nimble" and efficient federal power. The hosts agree with Will's assessment that the Constitution was intended to block government action rather than facilitate it.
