In Week One, discover how U.S. foreign policy is shaped by key players such as the President, Congress, and departments like State, Commerce, and Defense. We will examine how well these institutions coordinate and how conflicting priorities affect global strategy. Week Two focuses on the complex journey toward securing a party’s presidential nomination. This session will cover the role of primaries, caucuses, and national conventions, and explore the political forces that shape a candidate’s path to the presidency. In Week Three, we’ll take a closer look at the inner workings of the legislative branch. We’ll explore committee assignments, the influence of staff, and the unwritten rules and customs that affect how legislation moves (or stalls) on Capitol Hill. Week Four will delve into the origins and evolution of the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ll trace its historical foundations, major milestones, and how its development may influence its future role in American politics.
