America's Report Card

Federalism

Federalism is the relationship between state governments and the central government. I'd give this part of the US government an A because both the states and national government have a say in decisions.

Separation of Powers

Rule of Law

Limited Government

In our opinion, we believe that the USA earns an A- for separation of powers. there are very many useful checks and balances such as the presidential veto and congresses ability to override said veto. the powers of the different branches are fairly equal, but congress has the abilit to override many things.

The us government has 22,000,000 employees. and, seeing as we are a limited republic and we earned an A- for separation of powers and a B for checks and balance, i we believe that the US earns a b+ for limited government.

Rle of law, this is not the USA's strong suit. people who are rich and white barely fall under rule of law, people who work for the government are even less likely to be arrested. people such as policemen and the like are virtually immune to all laws.

Popular Sovereignty

Checks and Balances

The three branches of US government are the Executive branch, Judicial branch, and the Legislative branch. All of these branches have unique checks and balances. For example, the president has a veto power which was used an astonishing 37 times by president Bill Clinton. But in state governments less than 4% of bills are veto'd. One of congress's strongest powers is impeachment. Although, this has only been used on 2 presidents. Overall, this earns the United States a B.

Popular Sovereignty is the idea that people rule themselves. The us government gets a D+ because the Supreme court is balanced by other branches, but the Electoral College makes it so the American people's votes irrelevant because they get the final say
