Excerpt from Advanced Civics: The Spirit, the Form, and the Functions of the American Government
While preparing this book I constantly kept in mind the truth that instruction in Civics should have for its highest aim the indoctrination of the learner in sound notions of political morality, and I attempted to assist the teacher in achieving this aim wherever such assistance seemed to be practicable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the American government, tracing its evolution from society and the interrelation necessitated by human nature. The author argues that the evolution of government is marked by a gradual shift towards popular rule and increased participation from the governed, and describes the three essential components of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The book discusses the distribution of power among these branches in the US, explaining how this system of checks and balances aims to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. Along the way, the text also explores the functions of each branch, from taxation to law enforcement to interpreting the constitution, providing a comprehensive overview of how the American government operates.
