Summary, etc. UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is a comprehensive book de-<br/>signed for the introduction to American government course offered at<br/>most colleges and universities. Like many other books of this type, it<br/>covers in detail the standard features of U.S. politicsthe Constitution,<br/>federalism, political parties, Congress, the courts, and all the other tradi-<br/>tional “core” topics. In addition, several subjects usually given only<br/>scant attention in most texts - the biases of our electoral system and<br/>power in private organizations, to name but two- are given greater em-<br/>phasis.<br/>I believe, however, that Understanding American Government is not<br/>merely another traditional introductory text, albeit with some new sub-<br/>ject matter. Underlying this book is a set of beliefs about how politics<br/>ought to be approached, as well as several techniques designed to help<br/>students grasp sometimes complex material. Four major beliefs or as-<br/>sumptions guided the writing of this book:
