This chapter applies Ernst Fraenkel’s concept of the dual state to Trump’s America. It examines how a constitutional, rule-bound “normative state” can coexist with a parallel sphere of executive discretion, the “prerogative state”, where power operates through loyalty, exception, and selective enforcement. The video asks whether institutional restructuring under Trump reflected the early formation of such a dual system within the United States.
