Sinopsis

Updated in a new 24th edition Government by the People, National, State, and Local Edition demonstrates that politics matters by emphasizing the accomplishments of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Building on decades of authoritative scholarship, this completely updated text continues to offer accessible, carefully crafted, and straightforward coverage of the foundations of American politics, as well as a consistent focus on the achievements of a government by the people. The National, State, and Local Edition includes the exact same coverage as the National version, but with additional chapters devoted to State & Local Politics.
