The American Government System

The American Government is constructed of various principles, structures and social organizations. Each of these structures is vital to maintaining order and balance. When one part of the system fails, not only does it jeopardize order, it allows our system to be vulnerable to attack from outside powers. As a citizen of the United States, I believe other fellow citizens do not understand these systems and how they function. In Barack Obama's "Farewell Address" and Laure Galante's "How to exploit democracy," they engage on how America's system has flaws within some of these structures that make us vulnerable to other powers. In the Farewell Address, Obama cautions that we take democracy for granted by doing acts such as not voting in elections.
