Description

This volume is a concise American government textbook, introducing students to the workings of American government. The authors present American political institutions, such as the presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court, how the average American participates in Government by covering topics such as voting, public opinion, and the media. They explore why Americans seem to have increasing dissatisfaction with their government and attempt to explore the role that you as U.S. citizens and residents can take in improving democracy in America. By understanding the structure, purpose, and application of the Constitution, students can reflect on how American beliefs influence participation in government and how they can be active citizens in influencing government.
