Utah Politics and Government - American Democracy among a Unique Electorate Brown Adam R.Paperback
As unique as is Utah's formative history of civil and religious conflict, its political institutions today broadly resemble those found in other American states. The mostly geographically rural state is demographically urban, and Salt Lake County is now a swing county in some elections.Utah Politics and Government offers an accessible analysis of Utah's political cultures, starting with the state's unique pioneer heritage, its development into a secular American state, and its explosive modern growth. While its majority Mormon population translates into an enormous Republican advantage in local and national elections, Utahns have taken a more centrist stance on some issues such as immigration, while Utah itself has become the third-fastest-growing state in the country since 2000.
The book covers the state constitution and its place in the federal system,
