The United States claims to have the world's oldest democracy with its Constitution guaranteeing a system of checks and balances. Today, the American political system is frequently described as "dysfunctional" and "broken." We will analyze and discuss the creation of the American political system and how and why the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary branches have changed over time. We will also look at the development of the party system and federal elections, as well as the most current political developments.
