Shadow State

Political compromise is unavoidable in a democracy. However, there is a principle that must be met, which is to continue to put the interests of the public above the interests of groups or individuals.

“Deep state” is a term quite popular in American politics. If it is translated freely, it means, more or less, “shadow state”. In the United States, it is said the government and Congress, which are officially elected by the people, are not fully functional and do not have the power to run the government.

There are several powerful interest groups that shadow the government there and they can exercise power without being hindered by the president.
