Written and developed specifically for the introductory American government and politics course, "For the People" promotes the view that politics is enthralling and students can be inspired to exercise the responsibilities of citizenship every day. From the first chapter, which includes an assessment of the impact of government on the daily lives of average citizens, to the concluding chapter, which analyzes the concept of equality in American life, Harlan Hahn and Judson Jeffries encourage students to study political events and processes as they affect citizens in their everyday lives and over the course of their lifetimes. The authors address all of the topics typically found in an introductory course on American politics, such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights; political parties, elections, and interest groups; the major institutions of the federal government; and public policy. But Hahn and Jeffries also infuse these lessons with an engaging message that inspires lifelong involvement in American government and politics.
