Whether we realize it or not, government plays a vital role in our daily life. Some professions live and die by government action. Many citizens have learned that they can benefit just by understanding how their system of government works. This book provides a basic understanding of the American system of government and how it addresses some of the important issues and challenges that confront a democratic society. This book is designed to walk the reader through the Constitution of the United States, pausing along the way to point out its effects on government and politics. It provides a historical background leading up to a call for a constitutional convention and highlights some of the difficulties faced by the Constitution's framers. It is a useful study guide with questions and answers that emphasize important points about the United States Constitution, the government it established, and significant legal rulings that protect its citizens.
