Document Summary
The sovereignty of self-governing people (ww 1916) Madison in federalist #51: the legislative authority necessarily predominates . Over the ages we have seen presidents state that they are acting under one of these models. The policymaking process consists of a complex, multi-stage set of five actions: External forces of power: the us is a pluralistic society as follows: Government itself is divided into 3 branches legislative, executive and judiciary that exert power over and check powers of each other. American society is made up of competitive groups and power shifts from one group to another over time: group theory multiple perspectives. Special interests, not govt. are the ones who hold power and create social policy. Government is a group that competes with other groups: the salad bowl metaphor says that each social group is a distinct power entity. Internal environment: the internal culture of an organization is transmitted by socialization/enculturation. The professional groups within the organization influence the organizational culture.
