Even to adults, how the U.S. government runs can seem complicated and opaque. Elementary social studies students just begin to scratch the surface of our political system and often have many questions. This set is perfect for providing accessible answers to some of the big government questions: How are laws made? Who can be president? Can new states be added? Why is Congress two houses? Who can vote? Content includes age-appropriate historical context such as how the concept or system came to be, the important people involved, and any changes that have occurred over the course of U.S. history.
