The American political system

Some months ago, I was asked to give a lecture to a group of Chinese civil servants on the British political system. I turned my lecture notes into a short essay for my web site here.
I’ve received a number of positive responses from visitors to the site and so I’ve decided to expand the idea, starting with “A Short Guide To The American Political System” which I’ve added to the site here to coincide with Independence Day in the USA.
I hope that my American readers especially will let me know if I’ve made any mistakes or need to add more information.
