The Logic of Politics If you understand the incentives faced by a political actor, you can understand his behavior. Therefore, by manipulating his or her private incentives, you can thereby change his or her behavior. Institutions, laws, and rules change individuals’ private incentives.

Brainstorm Based on what you already know, in what sense were the framers of the Constitution ordinary politicians? In what sense were they extraordinary? How do you think their personal experiences shaped the Constitution itself?
