<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This two-quarter course is an introduction
to the principles, process, and institutions of American government. The first
quarter (15-POL-110) examines American political thought and culture, including
the principles underlying the Constitution, and the ways in which government
and the citizenry are linked together. The second quarter (15-POL-111) looks
at the institutions of government and how they work, from the source of their
powers in the Constitution, to the ways in which public policies are developed
and implemented. Upon completion of 15-POL-110, students should demonstrate:
</font></p>
<ol>
<li><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A thorough understanding of the
major provisions of, and the fundamental principles underlying, the U.S. Constitution.
</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> An ability to evaluate the reasons
for and consequences of structural arrangements such as checks and balances,
separation of powers, and federalism. </font></li>
<li><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">An appreciation of the importance
of rules in influencing political outcomes. </font></li>
<li><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">An understanding of the roles
played by various institutions in linking Americans to their government, along
with the distinct characteristics of each type of institution. </font> </li>
