CMC Introduction to American Politics

This blog serves the our introductory course on American politics (Claremont McKenna College Government 20) for the spring of 2025. During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.
