Abstract
We often assess that some behaviours are "american" and some "European". Doing this, we mean there is a distinct american culture. Does it match for political culture? political culture could be defined as a set of behaviours and habits towards the political system of one's country. Brian Farrell defines it as the "Values, believes and attitudes" of one population toward its government . It is partly inspired by the type of government, and it partly determinates the type of government. That's why political culture is the explanation for many phenomena. At first sight, the European democracies and the american one have many common features. They are liberal and democratic regimes, in which the fundamental liberties are promoted. The difference lies in the american liberal political culture. The first part of this essay will focus on the common believes of american people which are the basis of their political culture. Then I will try to give explanations for a liberal culture. The last part will be devoted to the political habits which reveal the specificity of the american culture.
