Foreign and national security policymaking has traditionally been less democratic than domestic policymaking
Why do the president and the executive branch have more power in foreign policy than in domestic policy? Why is the public less involved in foreign policymaking?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Describe how the Constitution makes the president the commander in chief of the armed forces and the chief diplomat.
2, Identify that in military matters, the need for speed and secrecy allows the president and the executive branch to exclude public opinion and to act in the national interest.
3, Explain that the involvement of ordinary citizens in foreign and national security issues is diminished by the complexity of these issues and their remoteness from day-to-day life.
