AMERICAN CULTURE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.

The essence of political culture of the U.S. is found in its Constitution and the Federalist papers. The main theme is, individuals are created equal and are free to make their choices. Political freedom is therefore first, without it other values cannot be fully achieved. The Constitution protects these values by implementing separation of powers by carefully crafting governmental institutions which divide governmental decision making power, check and balance the power of one institution with others and establish clear division of responsibility between levels of government.
