American Government: Roots and Reform helps students view the issues facing the United States today through a historical lens. By presenting coverage of the origins of American government in tandem with material on contemporary political structures and behaviors, authors Karen O'Connor and Larry Sabato help you see how what happened in the past can be used to understand what measures should be taken in the future. The authors focus on qualitative literacy to help you learn to analyze, interpret, synthesize and apply information from charts, graphs and other visual sources.

The 2020 Presidential Election Edition offers new narrative coverage of the major issues from today's headlines, including the 2020 presidential and congressional elections and the coronavirus pandemic.
