A Republic, If You Can Keep It by Michael Ferguson

"A Republic, If You Can Keep It": An Anthology of Readings on American Government provides students with a carefully curated selection of articles that explore various aspects of American government and politics. The book is organised into three sections. In the first unit, Foundations of American Government, the readings explore how much political knowledge we as Americans have and whether we should seek to create a more informed citizenry. It also examines the complex dynamics of federalism, which is critical to understanding how the government is set up and operates. In the second unit, Institutions of American Government, students read about the three branches of government. The final unit, Features of the American Political System, covers politics in the United States, with readings that address elections, the effectiveness of negative campaigns, the debate over the Electoral College, and the impacts the media and group lobbying have on the political process. Developed to help students critically think about various aspects of American government and politics, "A Republic, If You Can Keep It" is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in political science and American government.
