On Thursday we also got started looking at the very topical Republican and Democratic conventions and the way in which American presidential politics works... I asked you to research the following:
- How is the presidency of the United States different in responsibility and jurisdiction than the job of prime minister
- What are the two major parties in the United States and what do they generally stand for
- How do the parties select their presidential nominees?
- Who are the nominees of the two major parties and what do we know about their political backgrounds and their positives and negatives?
On Friday, we began that discussion and will continue on Monday, September 8.
