Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Federal GovernmentOne of the most striking political tendencies of the last century has been the development of federal government both in Europe and America. Within a hundred years the Swiss confederation has grown compact and strong, the German confederation has been remodelled, and tendencies toward an Imperial federal sys tem are seen in England. Ou this side of the Atlantic, the Spanish American States have formed several confederations, of which two - Mexico and the Argentine Republic seem durable; and the British continental possessions have been amalgamated into an union. Above all, the United States of America has borne the strain of growth of territory and population, and is to-day the strongest and most firmly established of all federal governments that have ever existed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

The Government of the United States (Reproducible Study Guides for Online Learning) was designed to familiarize students with various aspects of the U.S. government. The guides provide a rich amount of information about the government, while also requiring students to use online resources to answer the specific questions. Maps, as well as photographs and other pictures, are also provided for clarity. Students will learn all about the three branches of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) and will understand how the United States government operates at the federal, state, and local level. They will gain a thorough understanding of the Electoral College, which is used to elect the president and vice president of the United States, as well as the process used to select other government officials. They will also learn how the duty of Congress to officially tabulate the Electoral College votes every four years on January 6 turned deadly in 2021. In addition, they will discover which controversial issues are generally supported by Republicans and Democrats and will use this information to identify which party, if either, they would most likely affiliate themselves with when they are old enough to vote. Other worksheets guide students to explore the values and voting history of representatives from their states as well as others who hold office (e.g., the governor of their state, the mayor of their city) so that they can form their own opinions on the elected individuals and whether they would be for or against their reelection. Students will even discover what every-day citizens can do to help change laws and will be encouraged to research how they might one day be able to get their own name on a ballot. Different types of elections, how a bill becomes a law, United States Ambassadors and Embassies, federal surplus, federal deficit, and federal debt are examples of other topics students will learn about by completing the study guides, and several essay suggestions are also included throughout the book. For the benefit of teachers, an answer key has been provided at the back.
