After making observations concerning the government of the United States, it has come to my realization that the people reign over the American politics, The Americans also believe that God is the ruler of the universe. I believe that this statement is true because Americans have proved to be one of the leading democratic countries in the world. However, the individual rule and self-government of the various states have continued to be attacked by the federal government which has centralized power in Washington. However, in recent years the American identity is under transformation as ore states are gaining power that allows them to make the laws that govern their areas of jurisdiction.
The United States has two primary political parties. The Republican Party has dominated the political space for an extended for a long time. However, the Democrats have had an equal chance to elect presidents that have played a critical role in changing the nature of American politics. The Democrats are the Republicans have been altering power. In this way, the federal government has become increasingly visible. Today, there are increasing debates that focus on increasing taxes and government spending. The lawmakers have been in the forefront in demanding additional taxes to enhance the national revenue to allow the government to fund its projects.
The framers of the American Constitution have divided the power between the state and the federal government. The 14th Amendment grants Americans rights to undertake matters of their interest, and the Bill of rights puts limitations on the centralized power of the government. The concentration of power has enhanced secularized culture, and many Americans identity with the government and the constitution. Ever since the establishment of the federal government, the United States has achieved great things because power resides in the people.

Brett Kavanaugh controversy
On Tuesday, October 9, 2018, Amelia Penniman posted an opinion article in USA Today.
The article titled “Brett Kavanaugh will trigger historic Democratic
turnout led by women in November election” highlights the fact that the fight for confirmation
of Brett Kavanaugh as Supreme Court Justice might be over but it is probably bound to
result in renewed supremacy battles between Democrats and Republicans.
Penniman additionally, states that Kavanaugh was not only unpopular but also toxic because
even with allegations of sexual misconduct, he still managed to get to the Supreme Court
through a rigged process.
The highpoint of this article is that the confirmation of Kavanaugh is bound to affect
the manner in which Americans will vote in the Mid-Term elections.
According to Penniman, women voters especially are bound to remember the
sexual assault allegations, and the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford ignored by the Republicans
when they go to the ballot on Election Day. This presumption is supported by polls which found
that Americans opposed the confirmation 48 to 42 percent with women alone
opposing it 55 to 37 percent. The role of women in influencing national politics becomes
apparent in this article thereby making it a must-read for anyone who has a keen interest
in American politics and way of life.
