Sumario: | The US political system is designed to ensure that freedom and opportunity will always be protected, by making it almost impossible for power to become concentrated in the hands of a few people seeking to run society for their own benefit. Have these aims been achieved?. The answer is that Americans have sharply contrasting views on how well their political system works.

This book covers the key issues, political systems and governing institutions. |
