Blog 5: Liberty and Power by Harry L. Watson

What could constitute this as bad writing?

This is an argumentative book in which Watson argues that the "policy disputes of the nineteenth century significantly influenced the future of the Republic and the nature of its society and economy."

Instead of opinions, arguments, or even a story line, the book is littered with facts, dates, and names much like a text book.
