There is a wealth of nonpartisan, factual information presented in a format that is easy to read, understand and reference. The complete texts of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are included so you will have your own copy of these historic documents. Miscellaneous information about the Original Thirteen Colonies, the Three Branches of Government, Presidents, States, Electoral College, National Symbols, plus much more is included. The U.S. Citizenship Test is included so you can test your own civics proficiency and/ or have information to study for the test! There is a note on the National Parks, with emphasis on National Historic Sites available for all to visit where book learning can become much more meaningful and inspiring. And lastly, a portion of the book is dedicated to over 50 pages of historical sketches and images. .
You will have it all in one book... If there was ever a time Civics should be a current subject, the time is now..Everyone should have a copy!
I love this book. It's full of information in friendly, fun format. The references validate the information and the organization is so sensible. The Citizenship test is an added pleasure, kind of a trivial learning game. I like this book so much, already gifted it and plan to continue gifting it as occasions allow. Want to learn the foundations of our nation? This book provides so much information you won't be sorry.
Can You Pass the Civics Test That Those Seeking Citizenship Must Pass?

There has been an increased frequency and an almost urgent drumbeat of stories reporting a lack of knowledge of Civics and American History in our schools. Even comedians have highlighted this issue while embarking in random questioning of adults in various settings. When quizzed about American History and Civics….the answer given may be incorrect (and pretty funny), but the point is made…there’s a knowledge deficit and room for improvement! While this may seem amusing at first, when you really think about it, it’s not so funny.
Our Sixteenth President, Abraham Lincoln, said…”I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any National crisis.The great point is to bring them the real facts…” This book brings you the facts. The Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights; facts about Early America, the Original Thirteen Colonies, U.S. Presidents, the fifty states, National Symbols, U.S. Wars and more are included. Facts presented will help you have more understanding of the questions and answers on the topics covered by the civics test. Over 50 pages of historic sketches add an additional visual dimension in appreciation of our history.
Mary B. Mackley, a nurse for 30 years, embraced the role as teacher in working with her patients throughout the years.
