American Government: Roots and Reform helps you view the issues facing the US 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 2018 Elections and Updates Edition offers new narrative coverage of major events and issues including the 2018 midterm elections and the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Other topics discussed include the Women's March after Trump's inauguration, the #metoo movement, and the many public figures who have resigned due to allegations of sexual harassment and assault.
