Discussion Post : Introduction and Citizenship
1. Democracy as an ideal suggests that every person should have an equal chance at influencing the political decision making process. Political equality (one person, one vote) is a value of the American political culture. Today, do we have political equality (in terms of influencing the political system) in the United States? If yes, how so? If no, why not? You must reference at least two academic articles to support your position.
Moreover, another way of analyzing political equality includes:
Are Americans equal before the law?
You can speak to that issue as well if you would like.
Once you have posted your response, the other students’ responses will appear. Please read over the other students’ response and then reply to at least one classmate. In your reply identify something you had not previously been aware of or something which challenges you to think differently.
