American Government

$16.95

The people and events in the history of American government tell a tale that brings the basics of our government to life. Who exactly were the Founding Fathers, and why are they still such hot topics of debate? Why did they want not only to break away from England, but to form a new and very different form of government? Just exactly what was the “Great Compromise?” Why was the Electoral College created?
