Examples include protection of the country through its armed forces, the maintenance of its roads, the establishment of education and the management of infrastructure projects. Additionally we examine the postal service, and the administration of public lands such as national parks and government property.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second part of the book we learn about the organization of the government. The different roles delegated to the national government are contrasted to those assigned to the state government, while local governments of small towns and provinces also differ. Elections determine who will govern the country, whether it is a local councilor, a state representative, or a member of the federal Congress based in Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, we examine the U.S. Constitution, and learn how its passages set out the roles and limitations to government power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6254448\"\u003ePaul Reinsch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantianos Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789872552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789872553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL006000\"\u003eAmerican Government | Legislative Branch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL040000\"\u003eAmerican Government | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pantianos Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44489219801325,"sku":"9781789872552","price":15.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ee01abbf-87ef-4bab-80f4-db1be7321b4c.jpg?v=1700863476","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-young-citizens-reader-how-government-works-elections-state-and-federal-the-public-sector-and-the-law-of-the-us-constitution-9781789872552","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
