The U.S. hegemony means that the U.S.A. is the sole superpower. The U.S.A. dominates the world in military, political, economic as well as the cultural field. Constraints on U.S. Hegemony: History tells us that empires decline because they decay from within. Similarly, the biggest constraint to American hegemony is from within. Broadly, the following are two constraints on American power The first constraint is the institutional architecture of the American state itself. The American system is based on the division of powers between the three organs of the government, i.e., Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary. These organs put many restrictions on military powers. The second constraint on American power is the open nature of American society and political culture.
