β¦ Synopsis
Written to engage students, and kept short to provide a flexible foundation for instructors, The Basics of American Politics covers all the terms and topics a student will need to understand the nuts-and-bolts of American government and politics. This title uses a dynamic game metaphor to engage students in the basics of the American political system and the contact sport of politics. Beginning with a clear definition of politics, it introduces four governmental and four nongovernmental βplayersβ who must abide by the βrules of the gameβ established by the Constitution and civil liberties. It ends by examining rival theories of who wins and who loses in American politics.
