Politics Exam Questions


  1. Presidental power - whether dependent on individual presidents?
  2. US congress - why is it hard to get get things passed through congress?
  3. Supreme Court - is it problematic to have an unelected body with so much power?
  4. Federalism and its development since the 60s.
  5. Recent election results - why congressional and presidential elections have been so different?
  6. Media influence in presidential elections  across the whole campaign.
  7. Interest groups - how they operate, pluralism. Positive? Negative?
  8. Foreign policy - how it gets created?
Focus on two questions:
3. Supreme Court - is it problematic to have an unelected body with so much power?
  • you should ask whether it's unelected and unaccountable
  • how problematic is it
  • is it valuable or is it too powerful in terms of it being 9 people
  • MUST talk about why it is problematic first

8. Foreign policy - how it gets created?
