American Politics

American Politics refers to the political system, processes, institutions, and activities that occur within the United States. It encompasses the structure of government established by the U.S. Constitution, including the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, as well as federal, state, and local levels of governance. American Politics involves the examination of political behavior, party systems, electoral processes, public policy, and the role of interest groups and the media. It also addresses key issues such as civil rights, economic policies, foreign relations, and the interaction between government and citizens. The unique characteristics of American Politics stem from its democratic foundations, federalism, and the influence of historical events, culture, and social movements.
