Samuel Choi CHAPTER ONE OUTLINE: THE STUDY OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT Introduction There are two main questions about government and politics. The two questions are, ?Who governs??, and, ?To what extent should the government rule?? People are concerned with who governs, because the ruler?s beliefs and values will affect the lives of normal citizens through the ruler?s laws. Because of this, people vote and participate in government in order to try and make a change in the government that will positively affect them. People are also concerned with what extent the government rules, because it shows how much and which parts of citizens? lives will be affected. What is Political Power?

Increase H1B Visas There is now a great need in the U.S. for a dramatic increase in H-1B visa availability in order to meet the demand of U.S. businesses for skilled workers. Companies across the?United States?are now beginning to assess their H-1B visa needs for the FY 2015 (10/1/14 - 9/30/15) filing season and are expecting even greater competition for the limited number of available H-1B cap slots.
