Description

Discover everything you ever wanted to know about how the government really works with this accessible handbook from Marjory Stoneman Douglas AP government teacher Jeff Foster. Now more than ever, it's important for everyone to understand our government: where it came from, how it works, and how we can bring about change. This comprehensive guide answers questions like: What is the Constitution? What are the branches of the government? What is the Electoral College? What are the political parties? What are the different responsibilities of the city, state, and federal governments? Plus, explore the complete backstory on some of our government's most important moments, like why we wrote the Declaration of Independence, and how people have worked with -- and protested against -- the government to improve the lives of all Americans. Each spread features a mix of black-and-white and full-color art, including infographics, charts, maps, political caricatures, and other engaging visual elements that will be fun and easy for kids to understand. Includes a foreword from an inspiring activist and back matter about how kids can participate and get involved.
