I. Introduction A. Congress: the least popular branch B. Heavily emphasized in the text of the Constitution C. An independent and powerful institution During the 1970s party polarization was very much the exception to the rule. Some scholars insist that the ?disappearing center? in Congress reflects partisan and ideological divisions among average Americans, while other scholars seem equally sure that we are instead witnessing a ?disconnect? between a still nonideological and politically centrist mass public and its representatives on Capitol Hill. II. Congress versus Parliament Comparison with British Parliament Parliamentary candidates are selected by their parties. Become a candidate by persuading party to place name on the ballot

Samuel Choi CHAPTER 5 OUTLINE: PUBLIC OPINION Introduction Abraham Lincoln described the government as ?of the people, by the people, and for the people?, but is it really true? The government does not always support what the people want. People want balanced budget, but the federal government is in debt People supported the Equal Rights Amendment, but it was not ratified Most people believe in a term limit for Senators and Representatives, but this has not been ratified. Such ?hypocrisy is present in the U.S. democracy. People believe that the government is democratic in name only also, but this is not completely true also. People can express their political rights: Can vote for President, Senate, and House of Representatives.

Samuel Choi CHAPTER 4 OUTLINE: American Political Culture Introduction Complete dependence on a constitution(even the American Constitution) does not guarantee the survival of the government nor protection of liberties. The U.S. Constitution has been copied by many other nations. Examples include Argentina, Philippines, and Brazil. In nearly every instance, the constitution lasted a short time. Democratic rule lasts short time, and then is interrupted by events such as military takeover and corruption. Such a pattern was noticed by Alexis Tocqueville. Tocqueville found several reasons for the sole survival of the American Constitution The U.S. was more suited for such a Constitution.
