As I work my way through a summary of Jon Meacham's "The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels" (Amazon), I came across a comment that Walter Bagehot identified (in his 1867 book "The English Constitution") that the two crucial parts of government of a free people were the efficient, dealing with the rules and the work of government, and the dignified, which should “excite and preserve the reverence of the population".
How is the Morrison government doing on that second point?
