"Covers everything you need to know about American politics today. Exploring the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution and whether the politics of personality have become too pervasive in the USA. Tackling the nature of the presidency, American foreign policy, and President Obama's administration, this is a sharp analysis of how history has shaped the way America governs itself today. How religion impacts American politics. The perfect introduction for anyone interested in the politics of the world's oldest democratic republic. Jon Roper is a professor of American Studies who has taught at the University of Tennessee, the University of Wisconsin, and Ohio State University"--Provided by publisher.
