Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of promises to create smaller, more limited government, Americans often forget that the federal government has amassed an extraordinary record of successes over the past half century. Despite seemingly insurmountable odds, it helped rebuild Europe after World War II, conquered polio and other life-threatening diseases, faced down communism, attacked racial discrimination, reduced poverty among the elderly, and put men on the moon. In Government's Greatest Achievements, Paul C. Light explores the federal government's most successful accomplishments over the previous five decades and anticipates the most significant challenges of the next half century. While some successes have come through major legislation such as the 1965 Medicare Act, or large-scale efforts like the Apollo space program, most have been achieved through collections of smaller, often unheralded statutes. Drawing on survey responses from 230 historians and 220 political scientists at colleges and universities nationwide, Light ranks and summarizes the fifty greatest government achievements from 1944 to 1999. The achievements were ranked based on difficulty, importance, and degree of success. Through a series of twenty vignettes, he paints a vivid picture of the most intense government efforts to improve the quality of life both at home and abroad—from enhancing health care and workplace safety, to expanding home ownership, to improving education, to protecting endangered species, to strengthening the national defense. The book also examines how Americans perceive government's greatest achievements, and reveals what they consider to be its most significant failures. America is now calling on the government to resolve another complex, difficult problem: the defeat of terrorism. Light concludes by discussing this enormous task, as well as government's other greatest priorities for the next fifty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is a union of fifty states and territories. Each of the 50 states has a unique history, and each state also has a unique place in the history of the federation. It is fascinating to learn about the differences among the various states. This book presents a short history of each of the 50 states in full colour. In it you will also find the popular but unofficial names of the states. The various states have the flexibility of making their own rules and regulations in carrying out their day-to-day duties and administration. The individual states are also governed as semi-autonomous entities. In some cases, the laws governing one state may be different from those governing another. The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every state in the Union a republican form of government. Article IV, Section 4, obligates the federal government to defend and protect the states against foreign invasion and against domestic insurrection. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." (Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution). By protecting the states the United States is also protected from being parceled and threatened. Thus the Constitution protects each of the states and ensures correct application of laws by the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government. You will likely be amazed as you read this book about the many things we take for granted or assume we know about the United States, even as citizens of this great nation. This book will provide you precise, in-depth knowledge about the history of the 50 states that you do not usually find in textbooks. It is ideal reading for all ages.
