The Bicameral Congress: Crash Course Government and Politics #2

50% 1

In which Craig Benzine teaches you about the United States Congress, why it's bicameral, and what bicameral means. Craig tells you what the Senate and House of Representatives are for, talks about some of the histories of the institutions, and reveals to you just how you can become a representative. It's not that easy. But an eagle gets punched, so there's that.

I've noticed that some people don't care for the jokes in this series. However, I love them. I did my bachelor's degree in political science, and this course feels very similar to the classroom settings I experienced. Bad jokes and funny voices are a political science thing. No one ever notices that it's a thing.

You're right, it's something much worse. It was understood that the allowance of that freedom would in effect dis-empower the people as apposed to the opposite. Point being it's extremely easy to simply talk about freedom, choice, and free will but MUCH harder to put into practice. What's better, a prison you have to force others into, or a prison where the inhabitants believe it's their choice to reside in?

All of that clever thinking and foresight by the founders, only to be washed downed the drain when corporate money in politics became legal. Legalisded bribery undermines this entire democratic system.

@MinesAGuinness 9 лет назад

How clever, foresighted or incorruptible was it to create a bicameral system of government that was specifically designed to preserve the position of Slave states in both Houses, a fact behind the Connecticut Compromise that was conspicuously not mentioned in this video? Let's not laud the Founding Fathers and their creations to the heavens.

@fraserclayton7468 9 лет назад

That only occurred when the Supreme Court ruled that money was an extension of freedom of speech cutting down on all the campaign finance regulations. A constitutional amendment is needed to rectify this.

@tootz1950 9 лет назад

Raven Prince I really don't think the politicians are going to stop selling their souls for the good of America.

@fraserclayton7468 9 лет назад

tootz1950 Yes but in countries like UK where I live they still have shady donations but it is much more controlled. 2012 US elections spending was above $6billion whereas 2010 UK election was £32 million roughly $50 million. Also in the UK you are only allowed a certain number of political adverts and they have a warning before them saying they are a political advert. Basically it means parties are less focused on special interests.

@bstoppel1 9 лет назад

The Senate was suppose to represent the interests of the States while the House of Representatives was suppose to represent the interests of the people. Hence why the Senators were appointed by the State legislatures.

@hiphughes 9 лет назад

Too bad the states messed that up with selecting horrible corrupt individuals; and being that the states approved the 17th amendment, its sort of like they cut their own B**** off by themselves. But it does change the nature of Federalism.

@aliensinnoh1 9 лет назад

Keith Hughes In some ways it is better for people to elect Senators, because it's more democratic. But if the State legislature elects Senators, then those members would be able to keep really good tabs on the Senator and get rid of him if he does his job badly, unlike the public whose biggest knowledge of him/her comes mostly from campaign commercials and the occasional news story.

Joshua Meltzer I have seen Crash Course History go back and edit errors such as these. It would be nice if they would amend the video with errors so glaring. The number of amendments is pretty basic and often referenced, it should be corrected.

I'm not saying Mr. Benzine is doing a bad job, well it's a big project with hardworking script writers, producers and editors and such, yet I have to say he is quite distracting, I really like him as comedian/host, but I mean, Hank is not easily replaced.

Great initiative! I have a couple of concerns which I hope will represent useful feedback for you: 1. Is this going to be an extremely US-centric series? As a non-US watcher I don't mind learning a bit about US politics or having them used as an example, however if all we're going to do is just talk about the US government, with no international range, then I'll have to pass on this series. 2. I personally enjoy the humor in this series, however especially in sections where you're quoting text I think it would be a good idea to tune it down a notch. Those texts are as is already quite heavy and hard to follow, having them read to you with a silly accent makes them virtually impossible to understand. Reading them in a helpful way, with intonation meant to communicate which segments are of particular importance, would result in a much more efficient method of delivery, for me at least. Best of luck!

1. This isn't Crash Course Government and Politics, it's specifically Crash Course US Government and Politics. As another non-American, I find it interesting to learn about, so I will be watching it. Though I would really appreciate something similar for a few other countries. 2. Honestly, I've found the humour in this series really…well, bad. I like the content, but I'm not a fan of the delivery at all.

Jim Cullen I find it funny that you two are the exact opposite of each other. Also, enjoy our government.

Sebastian Anderson Crash Course usually tackles subjects that are present in the U.S. A.P. courses, and here we don't really learn about other countries' forms of government.
