  Politics can seem pretty scary and daunting right now. Everytime I open my phone, all of the stuff I see is people proclaiming that the world is ending. This can cause a lot of anxiety. If you find yourself constantly thinking about politics and the news and wondering how it will affect you, you should take some steps to understand how our government works.

The article "American Politics for Beginners" from Her Campus at Mizzou provides an introductory overview of the American political system, aimed at helping readers understand the basics of how the government functions. It explains the structure of the U.S. government, including the three branches—legislative, executive, and judicial—and their respective roles. The legislative branch, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, is responsible for making laws; the executive branch, led by the President, enforces laws; and the judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws. The article also touches on the importance of political parties, the electoral process, and key political terms like democracy, republic, and federalism. It emphasizes the significance of civic engagement and encourages readers to stay informed and participate in the political process to effect change.
