Examine what political scientists do.

Look at comparative politics by comparing the foundations for democracy and the rule of law — constitutions. Examine two constitutions: the U.S. and the New Russian Constitution.

Check out the institutional structures of democracies. Dig in to the legislative, executive, and judicial structures and both parliamentary and presidential systems.

Uncover political processes in democracies, explore political parties and interest groups and their role in democracies, and then evaluate the cornerstone of democracy: voters and voting.
