The Handbook for Americans,
Revised Edition is an essential reference guide for every American to the
United States and its tradition of freedoms and responsibilities. Now, more
than ever, Americans are faced with economic, environmental and philosophical
challenges that require a strong response. When we ask ourselves, "What
does it mean to be an American? What do we stand for?" we are in fact
casting about for the resources and traditions to enable us to meet today's
challenges. The Handbook for
Americans, Revised Edition features the foundational documents of
our democracy The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of
Rights and provides information every American citizen should know about how
our government works and the balance of powers set forth by the Nation's
founders.
