How Government Actually Works
A Nonpartisan Guide to American Politics for Adults - Congress, the Courts, Elections and Your Local Government, Explained PlainlyBy Graham Pellow
Length8h 11m
About this audiobook
You vote, you follow the news, and still the process can feel like a black box. This plain-English guide explains how American government actually makes decisions: how a bill moves through Congress, what the president and federal agencies can and cannot do, how cases reach the Supreme Court, which decisions belong to your state and city, and how elections, parties, polls and money fit together.
Every chapter ends with a fair summary of where people disagree, so you can make up your own mind. The last chapters show how to be heard where it counts most, starting with your local government.
