An introduction to American national institutions and the
policy process. The focus is on the institutions and actors
that make, interpret, and enforce our laws: Congress, the
presidency, the courts, and the bureaucracy. The course
will critically assess the perennial conflict over
executive, legislative, and judicial power and the
implications of the rise of the administrative state for a
democratic order. This course is designed especially for
first-year students, although members of other classes may
enroll.
