California Polytechnic University The American Governance Style Essay

 

Prompt:

Critics  of the American style of government point to a number of problems in  American elections. Foreign critics argue that the American party system  makes voting harder for regular voters because American politicians  often “buck” their parties and act like mavericks. They also argue that  the election process itself is problematic. They argue that both the  nomination contest and the general election have low turnouts  comparatively, and serve to further the interests of the rich elite who  vote. Weak campaign finance laws also bias the system towards those that  raise a lot of money from wealthy contributors leading to corruption.  Do you agree or disagree with this? Why?
