The course provides an introduction to the development of
citizenship in the American political system and to
mechanisms of democratic accountability. Its central concern
is the relationship of citizens to political leaders, and
in particular to modes of political participation by which
citizens attempt to hold political leaders responsible for
their actions, including nominations and elections,
campaigns, political parties, interest groups, and social
movements.
This course is designed specifically for sophomores and
juniors. It is also open to seniors and to first-year
students who can demonstrate a familiarity with government
institutions.
