Credits 4
Who really runs the federal government? It may not be who you think. The administration, the bureaucracy, and the deep state are various names given to the nebulous group of agencies and departments that employs more than 2 million Americans and works under the Executive Branch. They enforce and write the details of all federal laws. This course peels back the curtain on how these institutions keep the country running, how Americans can participate more in this process, and how they interact with each other, Congress, courts, the president, interest groups and more.
