Summary
How does American democracy function? Episode 41 demystifies the U.S. political system—exploring the Constitution's separation of powers across three branches, federalism's balance between federal and state authority, the Electoral College's unique role in presidential elections, Congress's bicameral structure, Supreme Court judicial review, the two-party system, and the checks and balances designed to prevent tyranny while addressing today's political polarization and democratic challenges. #uspolitics #americandemocracy #politicalsystem #separationofpowers #checksandbalances #federalism #electoralcollege #constitution #threebranches #congress #supremecourt #civicseducation #democracy #usgovernment #politicalscience #diplomacyanddiscourse #episode41
