Abstract
This article analyzes the significance of the concept of creation connected to Aaron Sorkin’s profession as a scriptwriter in The West Wing. Creation is an intermediate term. Sorkin draws its material from the American political experience focused on the work of the Executive Cabinet members and creates a world of possibilities that transcends the act of creation. The constitutional design is therefore a principle of original creation throughout the seven seasons of the show.References
