N2  - This book first] looks at the foundational elements of the political system that are especially relevant to understanding modern American politics. [It then] examines the four basic institutions of America's national government: Congress ..., the presidency ..., the bureaucracy ... and the federal judiciary ... [It also] surveys the institutions that keep citizens informed about what their representatives are doing and enable them to influence their elected officials through voting and other forms of participation. [The book] concludes our inquiry by reviewing the biases inherent in the institutions we have examined and considering how to evaluate proposals to reform current political arrangements.-A note to the students
