Integral (?) American Politics

 There were a number of important issues and a number of important candidates that the media chose to ignore. We appeared to have 24 hours of information a day. In reality we were given about one hours worth of information twenty-four times each day. I am just discovering this site one article at a time, and would love to see some truly different outlooks. How can American issues be looked at without ever mentioning the Constitution? Is there an integral map of this all important American document?
