Politics
Course Description
Through your Politics A Level’s three paper you will learn the workings of government as well as looking at how people can participate in government.
We’ll look into the UK’s political process, and core ideologies such as conservativism, liberalism and socialism. We’ll investigate how all the component parts of the British political system are engineered to work in equilibrium – from the constitution, to the executive – which comprises the Crown and the UK Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers.
We will also consider how politics plays out in the USÂ - you will look at the workings of the constitution, discuss why states are allowed to set their own rules, as well as looking at the role of the Supreme Court and the presidencies of Obama, Tump and Biden.
