Our Government - Jesse Macy - Bog

""Our Government: How It Grew, What It Does, And How It Does It"" is a book written by Jesse Macy and originally published in 1891. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the United States government, including its history, structure, and functions. Macy begins by tracing the development of American government from its colonial roots through the formation of the Constitution and the establishment of the federal system. He then delves into the three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial - and their respective roles and responsibilities. Throughout the book, Macy emphasizes the importance of citizen participation and civic responsibility in maintaining a healthy democracy. He also discusses the challenges and controversies that have arisen throughout American history, such as slavery, suffrage, and the role of government in regulating the economy. ""Our Government"" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the American political system. Despite being written over a century ago, many of the concepts and principles discussed in the book remain relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
