US Politics

US Politics refers to the activities, processes, and structures involved in the governance and political life of the United States of America. It encompasses the actions and policies of the federal government, state governments, and local entities. Key components include the functioning of the three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—as well as the political parties, electoral processes, and public policy debates that shape the nation’s governance. Central to US politics is the Constitution, which outlines the framework for political authority and civil rights. Political ideologies, interest groups, and media also play significant roles in influencing and reflecting public opinion and policy. US politics is characterized by its democratic principles, including regular elections, the rule of law, and a system of checks and balances designed to prevent the concentration of power.
