520 _aNow more than ever, it's so important for everyone to understand our government: where it came from, how it works, and how we can bring about change. And, after all, in the words of author and government teacher Jeff Foster, 'If you don't participate, you can't complain.' This book is a comprehensive guide that answers questions like: What is the Constitution? What are the branches of the government? What is the Electoral College? Plus, discover the complete backstory on some of our government's most important moments, like why we wrote the Declaration of Independence, and how people since then have worked with--and protested against--the government to improve the lives of all Americans.
