M2 - Matu 9 - The American Model 1919-41*

Lesson 1 - Why was there an economic boom in the 1920s and who benefited?
The US political system
Picture
The USA is the world's oldest democracy. It has the world's oldest written constitution. (Britain's is older but is not all in writing.) As a republic only the Swiss republic is of longer standing and its head of government was always elected by the people. By the 1820s, property qualifications for voting had been dropped in all states and the principle of 'one man, one vote' for white men had been accepted and that included presidential elections, despite the Electoral College system. (African Americans, most of whom were still slaves, did not have the vote and neither did Native Americans. American women-as in most European countries-had to wait until the early 20th century.) By contrast the French and British had to wait until the 1870s and 1880s until they got the right of 'one man, one vote' in genuinely multiparty parliamentary elections. 
Picture
Because of its federal constitution, the USA - like Switzerland - has an extraordinary number of elections. Americans get to vote for representatives at the federal, state and local government levels. If you were of voting age and lived in Los Angeles, here are the people you could vote for: the governor of California, a member of the city council, a member of the House of Representatives, the county commissioner, a member of the Californian legislative assembly, a senator, the president of the USA, a member of the Californian Senate. 

Legislation refers to laws. To legislate is to make laws. The legislative branch of the US federal government is Congress. Congress is divided into the Senate, in which the states are represented, and the House of Representatives, in which the people are represented.  Again, this is very similar to Switzerland. The states are represented equally in the Senate (regardless of their size or population), each state sending two senators. Senators are elected for six years, with one third being elected every two years. By contrast, members of congress are elected to the House of Representatives for only two years. Thus, senators are less sensitive to the ups and downs of public opinion than House Representatives, who continuously have to worry about getting re-elected. Senators are seen as senior statesmen who advise the president. Their approval is needed when the president makes important appointments, such as secretaries of state (ministers who head government departments or ministries), federal judges and ambassadors. In keeping with the constitutional principle of "checks and balances", the Senate's ratification (approval) is also needed before treaties signed by the president can come into effect. All legislation (laws in-the-making, referred to as 'bills') requires the approval-usually by a simple 50 per cent majority-of both the House and the Senate. Finally, the president's signature is required before a bill can become law. 
Congressional elections take place at the same time as presidential ones. Election Day is early in November. The principle of the separation of powers (between the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches of the government) in the Constitution ensures that the election and powers of the president remain quite separate from those of Congress (the legislative branch). Although it does not seem logical, it is perfectly possible for voters to return a Democratic majority to Congress while voting in a Republican president. This kind of split vote happened quite often and gives the American political system its unique complexity. A successful president has to be skilful in managing Congress. 
Picture
The situation contrasts with most parliamentary systems in the world, where the party with the biggest vote in a parliamentary election automatically gets to nominate the head of government (usually the leader of that party). In this case, there is no separate election for the head of government, who is a member of parliament and can rely on a majority there. ​

The Supreme Court heads the judicial branch of government (the law courts). Its job is to determine the constitutionality of laws. In the American system of government, the judiciary is entirely separate from the executive branch, which is headed by the president. Although Supreme Court judges are appointed by the president, they are appointed for life, so cannot be removed. An independent judiciary is an essential feature of truly democratic states. It is only possible to have a genuine opposition to the government if people are not afraid to speak up. This will not be possible if judges can be influenced by the government. 

What was the 1920s boom?

Textbook 184-5

Why was there a boom?
Picture
​


​Textbook 186-90
​​
The map below gives shows you the main centres of population and key natural resources in 1900.  This provided the USA - like the UK previously - with the basis of their economic potential. 

The First World War provided a significant boost to the exports and the demand for US goods. 

​The party in power in the 1920s were the Republicans and their policies also aided the unrestrained (but ultimately unrealistic) boom of the 1920s. 

Below you'll see the development of new industries and technological developments which taken together marked the high point of the second industrial revolution. 
Below is the film we watched in the lesson that outlines the main features of Fordism and Taylorism, the main innovations in the US industrial economy in the 1920s. The short extract from Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times is a contemporary critique of Fordism.

Country versus town - Why did agriculture not share in the prosperity?
Activities

1. If in an oral you were asked to explain how the US political system works, how would you do it? Write a paragraph of explanation - with diagrams if that helps - but make sure to include all the words in bold.

2. Using the sources and your textbook, describe the main features of the 1920s economic boom. 

3. Explain why there was a boom in the 1920s. The textbook identifies 5 factors, makes sure to include them all.

4. The textbook doesn't refer to the second industrial revolution, Fordism and Taylorism, so explain them here.  Make a good job of this because of all the things in this section this is what I'm most likely to test you on.

5. Finally the farmers. As we will see next lesson, not everyone benefitted from the boom. Using your textbook and the sources above explain why America's rural community did not share in the wealth of the growing urban centres.
