3. It is written for professionals rather than the general public. And 4. It includes a source cited or bibliography page. The scholarly article that I will be focusing on will be The Presidency and the New Political Culture by Terry Nichols Clark. This scholarly article focuses on Presidents of the United States. Clark writes to tell us how Presidents are seen as symbols in the US, how they are the voice of public, and should work to help the public. As stated here “American presidents are symbolic leaders of the American people. In this democracy their words and deeds must capture concerns of the public for them to be elected and to maintain public "confidence," as registered in some recent years in nightly polls.” here talking about how the president is the one elected to help run the country and must run things in a way so that the concerns of the public can be met and calmed. Another key point of Clark’s article is that he mentions how …show more content…

Many of the ways that the new political culture changes the rules of politics is put in place so that this new version of politics can adjust and focus on the more modern issues that we are currently facing, such as “explicitly distinguishing social and fiscal/economic issues” “increasing emphasis on social issues” and “growing participation among younger, educated, professional, and affluent individuals and societies.” the NPC appeals to the more oppressed; The lower classes, minorities, and LGBTIQ groups. Although the NPC was put in place to help battle the current issues of today, there were still some things out there that would hold back the NPC from completing what it was intended to do, one of those things is political parties well established in the countries, as stated “The United States has had more of the NPC and earlier than in other countries in good part due to the U.S. party system. The party structure is far more important than generally recognized, specifically because so many of the value changes and cultural elements of the NPC are shared by citizens in much of Western Europe and Japan as well as the United States (Clark & Rempel, 1997).” here stating how NPC is becoming more well known in the states thanks

In The Rise of the Plebiscitary Presidency, Professor Craig Rimmerman argues against the “plebiscitary presidency”, where the president governs through the direct support of the American people. Rimmerman argues that the Framers of the Constitution assumed that the legislative branch would serve as the central policymaking role. The modern plebiscitary presidency has been shaped by the tremendous amount of personal power drawn from the people through the Supreme Court and Congress. Rimmerman argues that the consequence of a presidentially-centered form of government that Neustadt and other scholars failed to recognize is that presidents will strive to meet the expectations that come with the new presidency to the extreme, where they will exert

In the last years of their tenures, the earliest presidents of U.S. history were either confronted with new issues or haunted by old ones which lingered throughout their presidency. The leaders of the first 50 years or so of American politics left the American people with a legacy of both effective and ineffective approaches to foreign policy, state affairs, oppositions, and economic parabolas. However, as the end of each of the presidencies neared, the “consent of the governed” went unnoticed, and Presidents George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson struggled to create and uphold the values and individual rights as promised under the new Constitution. Out of all four presidents mentioned above, George Washington

The role of the President of the United States of America is defined by those who have held the office. The vagueness of the Constitution has allowed the power of the office to grow and shrink with the personal differences of the men who have held the position. The presidency is not just effected by those who hold the position, the institutional environment and the society of the time also take a massive role in determining the power and effectiveness of the presidency. Theodore Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson are two of the most influential presidents because they were adored by the people. Roosevelt and Jackson both stretched the power of the presidency in ways that were never envisioned by the framers of the constitution.

Barack Obama’s win for President in 2009 was a historical moment for the United States. His inaugural speech was much anticipated, because this was going to set the tone for his presidency. His speech told the American people that improving the economy is one of his priorities, but there were also other areas he would like to improve like healthcare and the education system. This was a speech that was meant to persuade the American public to take action for them to rise as a nation again, and for them to put their trust into him. His message addressed a couple of specific points like his gratefulness to the American people, the different crises America is facing, how America will overcome these crises, replying to his cynics, addressing the world, and then he reminded America again to be brave like they’ve always been to overcome the hard times (5 Speechwriting Lessons from Obama's Inaugural Speech, (n.d.).
