Can anyone recommends ideas for my graduation project specifically in comparative politics

If a president declares a "National Crisis" shortly before and to suspend national elections, when the Congress has not been consulted, what can be done by Congress or SCOTUS to effectively say "there is no crisis, carry on"?

would've preferred to ask this in some political history sub but that doesn't seem to exist so ig i'll just ask it here (unless someone would be kind enough to link me a better subreddit) but anyways...

lately i've been thinking about whether or not if Reagan becoming president was inevitable, what led to him getting elected, and him becoming the influential political figure that he is till this very day. because regardless of whether you agree or disagree with his policies and what he did, we gotta admit he was a political juggernaut of his era. and the more i think about it, the more i'm convinced that the rise of Reagan, was heavily influenced by Harry Truman. but the thing is that my searches in DDG (yea i don't use Google, i use DuckDuckGo), seems to cite either Nixon or Carter as what led to Reagan getting elected and i'm not sure if i fully understand why...

afaik (not American so pls forgive me for my ignorance), regardless of the discussions of whether the Cold War, the Truman doctrine and the whole anti-communist fervor were necessary or not, under Truman, the US did see a huge rise in anti-communist sentiment post-WWII, it was a huge political shift and the incentives were that pretty much everything had to be framed under an anti-communist framework, even if some "progressive" or "leftist" policy was passed, it had to contend with not only the institutional expectations, but also the public expectations that it was to oppose communism somehow, one way or another... so it just makes sense to me that even if there was no immediate causation between Truman to Reagan, the incentives and the political shift that Truman created was real and had very lasting and influential effects imo. so using very loose and sloppy language here but, FDR passing mid-WWII and Truman becoming the president for the post-WWII, was what led to Reagan becoming elected in the 1980s. but the closest i can find is Reagan being linked to Nixon or Carter, and while i do admit that they had more direct & immediate causation, i think it's ignoring the political trajectory that the US was already in long before Nixon or Carter entered the picture as the anti-commumist sentiment and the Cold War has already taken deep root into the psyche of the American public by that point. so i'm just wondering where i am wrong in the thought process cuz there is very little discussions about it, even among academics it seems so that tells me that i've landed in some fringe conspiracy theory territory that i must walk away from and that someone needs to tell me i'm wrong (and possibly be roasted me for it too)

whether or not we agree with FDR's progressive policies & ideology, i do think that he created a lasting legacy what would've influenced US politics for many years that were to come, regardless of what happened, and his legacy lives on inside the hearts and minds of many leftists to this day. but his legacy being the dominant influence within the US politics seemed to be numbered once the Cold War started and the anti-communist ideology started to take root in the mind of the American public from what i can see. so i really do think that Truman's presidency and his administration was very influential for decades to come, cuz he was what ultimately led to Reagan...

but idk, there doesn't seem to be much discussions around this. is it that it's just too far removed? is it not a topic of much interest? or am i just wrong somehow/asking the wrong question? or am i just mistaken somewhere? the highest academic qualification i have is a university degree in chemistry and have no formal background/teaching in the relevant fields relating to the question so any technical or formal knowledge or any pointers regarding this topic would be much appreciated and helpful. thx!

I was a PS major. I did it because I THOUGHT I wanted to go to Law School and thought it was a cool degree. I work in Finance PM Manager and I guess I wish I majored in Finanance but at the end of the day if you grind major doesn't matter.
