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.
