American Government 2e

Designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the single-semester American Government course. This title includes innovative features designed to enhance student learning, including Insider Perspective features and a Get Connected module that shows students how they can get engaged in the political process. The book provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of American Government and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them.

Changes made in American Government 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition. The first edition of American Government by OpenStax is available in web view here.
