Question
Explain any three constraints on the American power.

Answer

Three constraints on American hegemony are:
  1. The institutional architecture of the American State itself. The division of power between the three branches of the government limits the exercise of military power by the executive.
  2. The open nature of the American society. The American mass media may promote or impose a view on domestic opinion in the U.S., there is deep skepticism regarding the purpose and methods of the U.S. government.
  3. The third constraint is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The allies are able to influence US as it has enormous interest to keep the market economies on its side.
