Synopsis

Learn about the democratic process of the United States in this introduction to American government for young learners!

After winning independence from one of the most powerful monarchies in the world, the United States and its people had strong ideas about how the country should be run. Leaders met at the Constitutional Convention where they developed the nation’s founding document―the Constitution. The document outlined basic rights of all citizens, processes for government, and checks and balances against leaders. Over 200 years later, the United States still strives to follow the ideals and systems put in place by the founding fathers!

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The United States is a republic defined by a set of rules written more than two centuries ago!

Even before the first glorious ring of the Liberty Bell, America was a land of freedom and promise. The Cornerstones of Freedom series explores what inspires people from all over the world to start life anew here, endure the economic and social upheavals, and defend the land and rights that are unique to the United States of America.

Although some of the rules have changed, the basic plan for our democratic process remains intact. This book examines the system for our representative democracy that was conceived at the Constitutional Convention and was born with the ratification of the Constitution. It also illustrates the many challenges a republic faces and how the United States has faced those challenges throughout history.
