A collection of various writings on the topic of American policy; from economic, social, and judicial policies. These writings are a curated collection of course submissions from my time at the University. They represent an in-depth analysis of American policy and my understanding thereof. Please enjoy the writings from a theory on representation, analysis of congressional primaries, investigation of the federalist society and external influences on the judiciary, and fiscal policy-making through an analysis of the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. All of these interesting and riveting topics on American policy join together to give a comprehensive analysis of the health of American policy-making, its problems, and possible solutions. "The people of England regards itself as free; but it is grossly mistaken; it is free only during the election of members of Parliament. As soon as they are elected, slavery overtakes it, and it is nothing." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau 'The Social Contract' "What lesser evils may a society commit when it believes it faces the greater evil of its own destruction? This is one of the oldest questions in politics and one of the hardest to answer." - Princeton University Press
