| ARTICLES RELATED TO exceptionally | | | |  exceptionally: Encyclopedia II - Politics of the United States - Federal state and local governmentsThe federal entity created by the Constitution is the dominant feature of the American governmental system. However, every person outside the capital is subject to at least three governing bodies: the federal government, a state, and a county (Note: county government has been abolished in some places, see New England and Town Meeting, the town/city fulfills this level of government). Within an incorporated entity, such as a city, they are also subject to the local government and possibly a distric ...

A major remaining exception is the District of Columbia, where residents have two non-voting representatives in the Senate and one in the House; and an extremely weak "home rule" city government. Also, US voting rights can be restricted as a result of felony conviction (such laws vary widely by state).
The most significant fact about politics in the United States, especially at the national level, is that successful participation requires large amounts of money, espe ...

| | | | exceptionally: Encyclopedia II - Politics of the United States - Political parties Many of America's Founding Fathers hated the thought of political parties. They were sure quarreling factions would be more interested in contending with each other than in working for the common good. They wanted individual citizens to vote for individual candidates, without the interference of organized groups — but this was not to be.
By the 1790s, different views of the new country's proper course had already developed, and those who held these opposing views tried to win support for their cause by banding together. The follower ...

| | | | exceptionally: Encyclopedia II - Politics of the United States - Organization of American political parties Unlike in some countries, American political parties are very loosely organized. The two major parties, in particular, have no formal organization at the national level that controls membership, activities, or policy positions, though some state affiliates do. Thus, for an American to say that he or she is a member of the Democratic or Republican party, is quite different from a Briton's stating that he or she is a member of the Labour party. In the United States, one can often become a "member" of a party, merely by stating that fact. In so ...

| | | | exceptionally: Encyclopedia II - Politics of the United States - Political culture Most schools in the United States teach the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the writings of the Founding Fathers as the definition of the country's governing ideology. Among the core tenets of this ideology are the following:
The government is answerable to citizens, who may change it through elections.
The government's power in matters of religion, expression, and law enforcement should be limited to prevent abuse of power.
The laws should attach no special privilege to any citiz ...

Business organizations will favor low corporate taxes and restrictions of the right to strike, whereas labor unions will support minimum wage legislation and protection for collective bargaining. Other private interest groups — such as churches and ethnic groups — are more concerned about broader issues of policy that can affect their organizations or their beliefs.
One type of private interest group that has grown in number and influence in recent years is the political action committee or PAC. These are ...
