Cantor begins his analysis by providing a history of term limits beginning with classical debates in Greek philosophy. He describes the benefits of studying the causes of term limits, and how term limits are a direct manifestation of older values rooted in the American traditions of municipal reform. Part Two examines twenty different municipalities across the continental U.S. that experienced a movement to implement term limits through a political campaign, voter initiative, or council-led charter amendment.
