Additional information on "Nature of Government Course" by

America's Founders were most concerned with establishing a government that ensured the greatest economic prosperity and the greatest liberty for individuals. The structure of government that they created was designed to curb the ever-encroaching nature and growth of government, which the Founders believed was the basic nature of all governments. Most civics/government books do an adequate job of explaining the structure of America's government. However, what is often lacking is the "nature" of government - which was of major concern to America's Founders. The following books provide the side of the story (the nature of government) that is most often missing from government/civics textbooks. These books have been used by students ages 12 and up, but are best suited for most students ages 14 and up.

The "Nature of Government Course" package includes one each of the following titles:
($112.60 if purchased separately)
