Branches of Government: How America Runs Itself

How does America's government actually work? In Branches of Government: How America Runs Itself, historian Alexander West takes you inside the Constitution's design to explain how the legislative, executive, and judicial branches each play a vital role in protecting democracy and serving the people.From the creation of Congress to the rise of the presidency and the power of the Supreme Court, this book reveals how each branch was designed, how it functions today, and why it matters. Drawing on vivid stories and historical examples, West shows how the system of checks and balances preserves liberty-and what happens when it's tested by crisis or controversy.Whether you're a student, teacher, or simply curious about how American democracy works, this book offers a clear and engaging guide to the branches of government-and the ongoing challenge of keeping freedom alive.
