Who was Ernst Fraenkel?
Ernst Fraenkel was a German political scientist. He was one of the founding fathers of German political science after World War II.
During the Weimar Republic Fraenkel was a member of the social democrats and one of the few jurists who held socialist opinions. According to some historians in the 1930s he was designated to be Attorney General of a possible social-democratic German government. In 1939 he immigrated to the United States where he began to develop his respect for the politics of that country, especially its pluralism and its checks and balances.
