Government in America

Politics and government matter. That is the single most important message of this book. As you will see throughout this book, those who participate in the political process are more likely to benefit from government programs and policies. It is our hope that after reading this book, you will be persuaded that paying attention to politics and government is important. Government has a substantial impact on all our lives. But it is also true that we have the opportunity to have a substantial impact on government. Learn how American politics affect public policy. Adopting a public policy approach to American politics, Government in America looks at government's impact on the daily lives of Americans. This text introduces the main features of American politics and asks "how should we govern?" and "what should government do?" In looking at the evolving nature of our democracy and the changing scope of our government, Government in America helps students see that politics drives what government can -- or cannot -- do for the people. - Publisher.
