Why Do Politics Matter

from Civics Over Politics Hosted by Erik McGuire

This episode of Civics Over Politics delves into the very nature of why politics is important, using the lens of a couple of examples: of Alexander Hamilton's thoughts during the Constitutional debates and the fallout from the conflict between the United States and Iran. The show closes with a recap of a travel destination I recently experienced.
