in your opinion, are the political and economic institutions in the U. S. working together effectively to serve the interests of the majority of citizens?

No

Explanation:

Majority of the time, we only elect people into power who don't care about bettering our life- just who can keep enough promises to get re-elected. They don't care about the interests of the people unless it'll get them to keep their job for longer. The government can also be really shady- for example, California recently passed a law permitting pedophilia under certain circumstances. That's not serving the vast majority.
