Classic Warfare

The role and responsibilities of our government has changed in ways that Hamilton and Jefferson couldn't have imaged. Nonetheless, the relationship between the government's three branches is still defined by the separation of powers established in the Constitution. In this series, students learn about the powers and limits of the presidency, Congress, and federal courts. Each text encourages critical thinking about our government's structure, an approach that informs readers' analysis of contemporary events. With today's political divide, these books offer a timely peek into the inner workings of the U.S. government.
