This broad introduction to US government looks at institutions such as the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court, as well as the social and cultural context within which political issues are discussed. It also surveys controversies and arguments. Should, for example, the institutions created in the US constitution be seen as too weak or too strong? Can the US still be seen as a federal nation, or are all significant decisions taken in Washington DC? Is the American lawmaking process in the grip of lobbyists?
