Government and Elections

Welcome

Welcome!

In this policymaking simulation, you will be asked to evaluate a number of proposals for making changes to the way the U.S. federal government works.

These proposals have the following goals:
  • To reduce or counterbalance the influence of big campaign donors--including special interests, corporations and wealthy people--on the Federal government.
  • To increase the responsiveness of elected officials in Washington to the interests and views of the American people.
Whether or not these goals are important, as well as the specifics of the proposals, have sparked considerable debate.
