This book tries, as did the previous editions, to interest students in learning about the exciting, important, and controversial issues in American public life. It offers the essential 'nuts and bolts' of American government, but also wants the student to understand why (and sometimes how) these important features have evolved, their impact on government and individuals, and why they are controversial and worth learning.
