Crapol Challenges Previous Depictions Of Tyler As A Die-hard Advocate Of States' Rights, Limited Governmsnt, And A Strict Interpretation Of The Constitution. in Pursuit Of His Agenda, Tyler Exploited Executive Prerogatives And Manipulated Constitutional Requirements In Ways That Violated His Professed Allegiance To A Strict Interpretation Of The Constitution.
