Teacher-written and classroom-tested, this concise, no-nonsense review guide uses a Q&A format to help students solidify their knowledge of key terms, people, events, developments, themes, and more.
The book poses questions (e.g., "What strategies are often used to pass bills?"), provides answers (riders, logrolling, pork-barrel legislation, earmarks), and also gives quick, to-the-point definitions of other key items. Important terms and concepts are highlighted in bold, and end-of-chapter practice questions (with answers and explanations) mirror the format of the exams. After a thorough subject review, the guide concludes with sample multiple-choice questions, DBQs, FRQs, exam tips, and review sheets.
