The American Government was carefully crafted to be a dynamic system of checks and balances. None of the three branches is more powerful than the other two, and each branch has powers specifically designed to keep the others in line. Untangling this bureaucracy is not only important for civics and history classes, but also in making sense of the evening news! With the Standard Deviants, you'll quickly understand the branches of the government, their powers, and how they've evolved over the years.
Co-written by Larry Sabato, Ph.D. of University of Virginia and Jerry Manheim, Ph.D. of George Mason University.
