This brief text, POLITICAL TERRORISM AND AMERICAN SOCIETY, looks at the complex forces and issues since September 11, 2001 and their effects on the American public, the Congress, the courts, and the President's War on Terrorism. The restriction of civil freedoms and the restructuring of the federal government (the Department of Homeland Security) are also analyzed. The following questions are pondered: How has America responded to 9/11? How have political institutions of government and the people in society reacted in thought and in deed? The power struggles within and outside of the Constitution's framework are discussed and questioned regarding consequences in the future for our political system of governance. The consequences these struggles may have for the conduct of democratic government in American could be substantial.
