Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 or not 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.
