Becoming informed about the democratic system and the political
process is a part of being a good American citizen. The engaging

the principles grounded in the Constitution--the Law of the Land.
The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and
Amendments, the separation of powers, and our system of checks
and balances are explored. The remainder of the book highlights
