Course Description

America is more divided than it has been in over a century. Yet while we are polarized politically and culturally, there may still be a shared core of values upon which most Americans agree. This discussion course will explore some of those values and processes, through an examination of the American political system and its evolution, selected policy issues, along with some a number of proposals for reform. Through secondary scholarship and primary sources, we will look at topics such as electoral reform, structural changes in Congress, the Presidency and the Administrative state, as well as policy issues such as immigration and health care. There are no prerequisites for this course.
