Features: For us ordinary people from across the ocean, stepping onto this new land naturally makes us feel that there are many new things. Just think about it—something as simple as "What is the President of the United States?" can become a question that requires us to learn so much. This book is a sister volume to Anxiety in Deep History—A Close Look at America. The author continues in the form of letters, starting with the question "What is the President of the United States?", and uses a series of stories to unfold the basic principles of the U.S. political and legal system, deeply exploring how the United States implements supervision and limitation of power through "checks and balances" within its own institutional framework.
