The document outlines several topics for revision about the USA including its type of government and how the state and federal parts work with the powers of the president and ways citizens participate in politics. It also discusses rights and responsibilities in the USA as well as arguments around immigration, government control of immigration, and social/economic issues affecting different ethnic groups like employment, wealth, health, education, housing, and crime/law plus government actions to address inequalities.
I put together this slide set for my classmates at USC in the International Public Policy and Management Program (IPPAM) in the Price School of Public Policy. As most are foreign nationals, they wanted to learn more about our Presidential elections. It was a great refresher for myself as well. Feel free to enjoy and share.
