This thought-provoking series examines many forms of government around the world and through the ages. Included are discussions of the structures, laws, and interests with which they must contend.

Political theories are briefly described, making them understandable for most students. Sidebars, sub-topic headings, larger fonts, clear, and colorful photos and illustrations add to each title’s ease of use. Reproductions of key primary source documents enhance The U.S. Constitution and Constitutional Law. ... A useful and accessible resource for those teachers and students needing background information and a general overview of political thinking and processes.
