can anyone recommend a book that is not biased and can help me to understand our government, politicans voting

Question

I have a basic understanding of how our government works but I am very distrustful of politicians and want to have a better understanding of what is going on with politicans and government. I don't feel very informed.

Answer 1

What you need to do is search out an author named Duncan Watts. He is an associate professor of sociology at Columbia University and has written a few simple books in the subject. My favorite, and the one I teach from, is Understanding American Government and Politics (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0719073278 this is the brand new edition). I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to look past the media and focus on the processes themselves.

Answer 2

The Federalist Papers, by James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton is THE commentary on the constitution. Nothing else will do

Answer 3

There is no such thing as no bias. As the quote goes..."there is no view from nowhere."
