Lively and straightforward, The Basics of American Politics offers a concise and accessible introduction to the nuts and bolts of the American system of government.Throughout the nine chapters, Gary Wasserman and Elliott Fullmer engage readers in a complex "game" where government institutions and political players follow constitutional and other rules to gain power. The Basics reviews the original purpose, history, and current performance of our democratic system and emphasizes the importance of civic trust in the political culture. A comprehensive yet compact set of features—including “Spotlight On,” “A Closer Look,” and “Case Study” boxes; chapter wrap-ups, Thought Questions, Learn the Terms glossary entries, and Suggested Readings—keeps students engaged and offer professors easy “launching pads” into timely topics beyond the basic text.This affordable text is ideal for introductory courses on American government.

Praise for The Basics of American Politics, 17th editionThe textbook is accessible, readable, engaging, and the price is perfect for our community college students. The case studies are well-written and students enjoy discussing them in class and on their discussion boards.Kathryn H. Edwards, Ashland Community and Technical College, Kentucky, USAWasserman and Fullmer have updated a classic American politics introductory textbook and made it as relevant as today's headlines. It introduces key concepts, and just as importantly, it asks students to use these concepts to consider the important issues involved in promoting and defending constitutional democratic governance. Its writing is crisp, its pedagogy helpful, and its coverage authoritative. For almost half a century this book has set the standard for accessible introductory texts, and this edition raises the bar.Richard M. Pious, Barnard College and Columbia University, New York, USA
