Read A-likes: Political Parties of the United States; The Presidency of the United States; and The Supreme Court of the United States.
Personal Thoughts: I love books like this, because at heart I am very much a history buff especially books about the Revolutionary War time period. I was a political science major as an undergrad and it was fun to revisit the information that I spent so much time learning a while ago. Books like this are extremely important, in my opinion, because the subject isn’t being taught as diligently in a school setting as it should be. Not only are these books useful for tweens and teens, but also for adults wanting to learn basic information about the way our great country works.
