Problem: Why do political scientists suggest that the American institutional system possesses a strong bias favoring the status quo in terms of changing policy? A) Americans are always divided on issues, making responsiveness by politicians impossible B) The dispersion of power across differing institutions makes changing policy very costly C) Since the president is elected by the country at-large, unlike Congress, it is hard to convince the executive to sign legislation D) The requirement by the Supreme Court to review each policy passed by Congress and signed by the president E) The policy status quo is always favored by the American public, creating no incentives for Congress and the President to change policy
