The Institutions of American Democracy book project works to enhance the public’s appreciation of the nature and function of democratic institutions. The project examines the history, current state and challenges facing the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, the press and the public schools. Commissions of scholars have synthesized what is known about the institutions, identified research priorities and disseminated their findings to scholars and the public through volumes published by Oxford University Press as the Institutions of American Democracy series.
