Synopsis

As Politics and government matter to everyone, Government in America explains how policy choices make a difference and shape the kind of country in which we live and how these choices affect the taxes we pay, the wars we fight, the quality of our environment, and many other critical aspects of our lives. This edition of Government in America explains the reasons we have such a difficult time resolving differences over public policy and the stakes we all have in finding solutions to the challenges facing our nation. The text provides extensive coverage of four core subject areas: constitutional foundations, patterns of political behavior, political institutions, and public policy outputs.
