Thoroughly updated through the 2002 elections and other trends facing American government, the Essentials version of this esteemed best-seller continues to provide a current and engaging introduction to the course.
Like the comprehensive edition, this nuts-and-bolts version was written in the belief that we must first understand how American government and politics have developed in order to fully understand the issues facing our nation today. Featuring a distinctive “Continuity and Change” theme, the text begins with why and how our government was formed, and shows students how change is a necessary process that keeps our political system vibrant and effective.

From the Back Cover
Essentials of American and Texas Government, 2006 Edition, Election Update
Karen O'Connor · Larry J. Sabato · Stefan Haag · Gary Keith
Written with the belief that students must first understand how American and Texas government have evolved to fully understand our nation and the issues facing it today, the 2006 Election Update of Essentials of American and Texas Government: Continuity and Change continues to offer students a rich historical perspective complemented by complete coverage of the 2006 midterm elections and the most up-to-date scholarship available in any text for the American government course.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
- In-depth and updated coverage throughout of the 2006 midterm campaigns and elections, the war in Iraq, the latest Supreme Court decisions, an analysis of “Red and Blue” America, the changing role of the media, and topics that have been subject to ongoing, impassioned debates, such as the assault weapons ban, gay rights, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, and affirmative action.
- An New The Living Constitution boxes appear in every chapter. These boxes excerpt and explain a portion of the Constitution relevant to that chapter’s topic and examine why that article, section, or amendment was important to the Framers and continues to be important today.
- An Annotated Constitution of the United States appears between Chapters 2 and 3 and an Annotated 1876 Texas Constitution is available at no additional cost when bundled with a new copy of this text. Both Constitutions are integrated with detailed primers that examine the meaning and context of their most significant language. This feature and new supplement help give students a deep understanding of what both Constitutions say, why they include the text they do, and what roles these seminal documents play in our lives today.
- On Campus boxes now appear in most chapters and continue to focus on the political issues of greatest interest to college students.
