Interactive OpenStax: American Government, 3e

OpenStax, Top Hat

This interactive eText combines the content of OpenStax’s American Government, 3e with the dynamic engagement features of Top Hat to create a rich, accessible, and affordable learning experience. American Government, 3e has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens.
