HARRIS, RICHARD

One of the most active and revealing approaches to research into the American political system is one that focuses on political development, an approach that combines the tools of the political scientist and the historian. "The U.S. Political System: A History of American Political Development" is the first comprehensive resource that uses this approach to explore the evolution of the American political system from the adoption of the Constitution to the present. "The U.S. Political System" is a three-volume collection of original essays and primary documents that examines the ideas, institutions, and policies that have shaped American government and politics throughout its history. The first volume is issues-oriented, covering governmental and nongovernmental institutions as well as key policy areas. The second volume examines America's political development historically, surveying its dynamic government era by era. Volume three is a collection of documentary materials that supplement and enhance the reader's experience with the other volumes.
