Answer to Question 1

The ideal answer should include:
a. Explain that Barber, who predicted the downfall of President Nixon, effectively created a typology of presidential leadership that was predicated on three personality traits of individual leaders: character, worldview, and style.
b.Describe how Skowronek examined the historical forces that shape presidential leadership styles, noting that presidents behave differently depending on their unique place in history and whether they are affiliated with a weak or strong regime, which shapes the type of leadership in which they can engage.
c. Assess how Barber's argument is fundamentally individual in nature, reflecting individual biographies and psychologies, while Skowronek's argument is institutional in nature, focusing how on presidents depict themselves as oppositional or consensual according to the partisan composition of Congress and the courts.
