Our constitutional democracy has been under pressure for some time, but few would deny that fears for its fate have deepened in just the past few years. We assume that our political institutions will limit and contain contemporary populism, just as the Founders intended and as they have in the past, but will they? An increasingly polarized electorate, urging their representatives to fight and never to compromise, may be stressing Constitutional limits. This new edition offers to help American government teachers lead their students to a nuanced theoretical and practical understanding of what is happening in the politics of their Constitutional democracy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew to the Third Edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurther develops and highlights the distinguishing theme of the book, “Constitutional Democracy Under Pressure,” in light of the Trump and Biden administrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpands coverage of all media aspects including fake news, social media, responsible journalism, and related topics including foreign manipulation of the news.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes numerous ways in which the American political system has been affected by the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation, and security concerns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluates the evidence for increasing polarization in public opinion, voting behavior, and legislative politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the implications of recent Supreme Court decisions including controversial rulings on reproductive health, the separation of church and state, the environment, and presidential powers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the most recent election results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdates in all tables, figures, suggested readings plus photo updates throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55624758034806,"sku":"9781032885087","price":55.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34322668.jpg?v=1747267955","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032885087-american-government","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
