Matching Funds Major Parties
861 words
The federal election laws influenced Nader in many
ways. He was excluded form the national televised
debates. A bi partisan committee plans these
debates on elections. They set the criteria for
inclusion. Many third party advocates argue that
this committee is biased and doesn't give the
third parties a chance. This was the case with
Nader. The committee says that a candidate with
fewer than 15 % in a national pole doesn't have a
substantial chance of winning, and therefore
shouldn't be included...

there has been a large debate on the explicit
knowledge of the voting public. As unfortunate as
it may seem, the political scientists and
theorists of our nation have not placed much
belief in the knowledge of these people. The
voters of America have been criticized in studies
and de fragmented in surveys as these political
theorists try to answer the un daunting question,
are voters fools? The answer is not one single
comprehensive study indeed...

its weakness in education. Although the country is
considered the greatest superpower of the world,

instruction, better success rates, a longer school
year, and quicker learning, such as starting to
read and write and starting certain math and
science subjects at earlier ages. The United
States however has been slowly improving since
1963. Despite such...

Role Of Mass Media In Politics In this discussion

examine the role of mass media in politics. The
two movies I will use for this basis are The
Candidate and All the Presidents Men. Today, the
art of governing a society seems to be much
dictated or prescribed by what the assemblage of
the citizens of the United States say or express
to the mass media. Thus, the government and

Electoral College System Electoral Votes

The framers intent of setting up the American
government will never be known for sure, but it is
gathered that they preferred a republic to a
democracy. In the constitutional convention the
drafters had to decide how much power they would
entrust with the people of the United States, and
how much should be controlled by representatives.
They chose to have Congress make the laws, and
congress would be selected directly by the people.
But another branch of government, the executive
branch, needed ...

increasingly unpopular and have lost a great
amount of power because of it. Interest groups are
slowly picking up where parties left behind and
are becoming more and more important not only in

there are definitely two sides to the story. Many
studies have been done to decide but each comes
out with different answers. I think that the media
has more of an impact on politics than does
