PO 304 - American Political Thought

Institution:

Sacred Heart University

Subject:

Description:

The Constitution of 1787 was based on speculation and a series of untested principles: it is possible for a territory as large as the United States to be self-governing; self-interest can be made to serve the common good; and minority rights can be protected in a system based on majority rule. This course examines documents related to the founding and other readings that shape, question and are inspired by political life in our country.
