Balance of Power in the U.S.

Paper Summary:

Fewer and fewer people are found to believe in the American form of democratic structure, especially as it applies to accountability, communication, and a true 'balance of power'. This paper argues that, since this is a presidential election year, the issue of power must once again be addressed. It shows that the people must initiate changes that will bring democracy back to the ?will of the people? rather than allow it to remain within the realm of manipulation in the established system.

From the Paper:

"The laws that are established are meant to provide the parameters for shared beliefs while creating the institutions of political society such as governments and political systems. The American Constitution was created as a means to provide protection for the people against the establishment of power within those political structures. The distribution of power is said to be at the 'will of the people' through representative government. The use of the judiciary to determine the 2000 election results should cause concern for any American who believes their rights are protected under the existing system. The national legislature's role in modern politics is, and should be, increasingly debated."
