Summary

In this book the author tells how the U.S. Government works. The role the national, state, and local governments play is explained. The national has three branches, the legislative, the judicial, and the executive. The legislative branch, which makes laws, has two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives. This book describes in detail the Senate and how it interacts with the House and the other two branches. History of its beginning, memorable events, and special people is given. It also offers a well balanced, two-sided debate concerning the issues that face the Senate today
