In this fourth edition of Understanding American Government, the authors have made every effort to include the most up-to-date information available in every chapter. The goal has been to focus on the contemporary political landscape in a manner that students will find both relevant and engaging. Updates include:
1. The results of the November 2006 election and the changes it brought to the partisan balance of power in Washington, DC;
2. The transition from the Rehnquist Court to the Roberts Court, including recent Court decisions in the area of civil liberties and civil rights;
3. Critical thinking exercises on topics such as government responses to Hurricane Katrina, ethics violations in the U.S. Congress, and the role of moderates and ideologues in American politics; and
4. Current content and data reflecting recent shifts in public opinion, the budget and the ongoing war on terror.
