非主流文化对美国政治制度的影响

The Influence of the Subculture on the American Political System

以古典式自由和美国式个人主义为内核,强调自由、民主和法治的美国主流文化是美国制度建立的灵魂。但是非主流文化却担负打磨美国政治制度的重任。美国非主流文化的演进与发展从美国国家权力结构、制度的合法性、公民权利以及美国选举等方面给以较大的影响。因而从一定程度上说,美国非主流文化的发展过程就是美国政治制度完善的过程。

Identified by the classic liberty and American individualism and the emphasis on the liberty, democracy and government by law, the mainstream culture of America is the soul of the establishment of the American political system. However, the subculture assumes the important responsibility of polishing the American political system. The evolution and development of American subculture have influenced the structure of American state power, the legitimacy of system, the civil rights and the election of America. To certain extent, the development process of American subculture is the process to perfect the political system of America.
