Interesting Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I had to purchase this book for a freshman level political science course. It was the most interesting reading in the course, compared to the relatively dull and simplistic 'We the People.' The book is divided into debates over hot political issues and does a pretty nice job of representing multiple viewpoints for the sake of argument.
