About The Book

American Government in Context seeks to chronologically address development in American government by providing additional contextual narrative through original documents. These documents either created change by the words and actions they represent, or were at least reflective of the transformation of American government politics and policies. It also provides a greater understanding of some of the important individuals or groups who have helped define the great debates in American politics.
