Since its First Edition in 1980, American Government has been the undisputed leader for AP
American government and politics. It focuses on three fundamental topics: the institutions of
American government; the historical development of governmental procedures, actors, and policies;
and who governs in America and to what ends. The text provides outstanding coverage of public policy
including seven chapters on policy-making, domestic policy, and foreign policy. This edition includes
coverage of the 2002 congressional elections, the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, and the G.W.
Bush presidency. An updated box program provides students with summaries of important information and
encourages critical thinking. Each chapter is now prefaced with an outline and concludes with a list
of Internet resources. Enhanced coverage of the governmental process explores the workings of Congress
and how a bill becomes a law. Each chapter now concludes with answers to the Enduring Questions—posed at
the beginning of each chapter—to encourage synthesis and critical thinking. Suggested Web links provide
opportunities to independently research American politics.
