The American political system can be difficult to understand. Executive orders, filibusters, and the influence of political action committees and lobbyists aren’t often discussed in detail in social studies classes, but they play a large role in how the U.S. government functions. Readers discover the facts behind these and other influential parts of American politics through age-appropriate text, informative fact boxes, and detailed sidebars. Full-color photographs give readers an inside look at how things really get done in Washington, D.C. This collection of timely topics is designed to help readers become informed and active citizens. Key features of each volume:
• Essential social studies curriculum topics, such as Supreme Court decisions, the three branches of U.S. government, and political compromises and deals are explained in a fresh and engaging way • Up-to-date examples give each volume the feeling of being ripped from the headlines, allowing readers to better understand current events • Discussion questions enhance critical-thinking skills and open readers’ eyes to different political points of view Compromises and Deals
