Synopsis

What are the three branches of the government? What does the House sergeant-at-arms do? How does a bill become a law? You can find the answers to these questions and more in ‘National Government.’ As you go on this guided tour through national government, you'll learn about the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the United States government. You will find out how the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect the rights of the people. And, you'll also learn about the powers the president has as chief executive and commander-in-chief.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-These books offer good information for students beginning to explore and understand the purposes and functions of different governmental systems. In World, two-page chapters explore democracies, communist and socialist states, monarchies, and other systems with attention to international organizations such as the United Nations and NATO. The functions of city, county, and school districts are explained in Local. The three branches of government in the U.S. and the process of a bill becoming a law are briefly outlined in National while State covers capitals, taxes, leaders, and legislature. Appealing layouts feature many full-color photographs, diagrams, and color-coded maps. These simply written titles provide a bridge between the "New True Books" (Children's) and the "I Know America" series (Millbrook).
