Product Description

Product Description

Focusing on the latest developments, this book explores whether the US political system lives up to its promise to provide freedom and equality of opportunity for all. Starting with the Constitutional Convention, which drew up the framework of the political system, the book examines mechanisms designed to prevent the oppressive use of power before analyzing the ways that the elected branches of government use power in modern America. Readers are provided with thought-provoking material on which to base their own conclusions on the extent to which US institutions and political practices succeed in living up to the Founding Fathers' lofty ideals. The US political system is evaluated through the topics of: *The Constitution *Race & US Politics *The Supreme Court *Federalism *Elections *Political Parties *Pressure Groups *Congress *The Presidency Each chapter examines how the system currently works and how it has developed, and makes comparisons with the British system of government to present a readable, accessible but academically stimulating introduction to the government and politics of the USA.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough examination of A2 required content, with up to date examples., 20 Jun 2008
By Himynameis (London, UK) - See all my reviews
4 stars because it has spelling mistakes and some examples need more explaining but quite good. I was fortunate enough to have one given to me by my teacher. William Storey is an examiner and he often writes the questions for the Gov & Pol edexcel exam, so if you knew quite alot in the book you could pass very well.
