American Politics

Daniel Hofrenning, Stefanie Chambers

This introductory American politics textbook highlights political controversies and debates that make politics compelling and shows that politics has the potential--against formidable odds--to solve crucial public problems. What are the conditions in which America-and other countries too-can promote justice and prevent tyranny? What are the obstacles to positive change? And importantly, what are ways in which citizens can get involved?

This book explores the American political system, its institutions, people, and groups with a focus on identifying the promise and peril of American politics. Leading with central questions and controversies of American politics, the chapters cover all the key topics in American politics including the Constitution, federalism, civil rights, the presidency, Congress, courts, bureaucracy, media, parties, and interest groups.

Helping students understand how and why political events and processes occur, this book is suitable for undergraduate course on American Government, American Politics and Civics.
