POLT 107 - Intro to US Politics

FC SSCI
4 credits
This course is a broad introduction to US politics and political institutions. We cover fundamental political questions in the US, analyzing how they have shaped our governmental institutions over time. We begin with the founding, and move through subsequent important political and institutional shifts, with a focus on inclusion/exclusion and the uses and distribution of power. We will use this perspective to contextualize our analysis of how these debates manifest themselves in contemporary US politics.
