Features: For us ordinary people from across the ocean, stepping onto this new continent naturally makes everything feel fresh and new. Just think about it—something as basic as "What is the President of the United States?" can become a question that requires understanding. There is so much to learn. 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 fundamental principles of the U.S. political and legal system, deeply exploring how the United States, within its own system, implements supervision and limitation of power through "checks and balances."
