Executive Secrecy

Executive Secrecy is an academic construct within political science and constitutional law that denotes the institutional practice by which executive branch officials limit access to sensitive information, particularly in the context of governmental decision-making, on grounds of national security, deliberative process protection, or presidential autonomy, thereby distinguishing it from broader notions of governmental transparency or administrative confidentiality.
