Publisher's summary

"An informative and appealing civics lesson for first-time voters and old hands alike." (Publishers Weekly)

From Nick Capodice and Hannah McCarthy, the hosts of New Hampshire Public Radio’s Civics 101, and New Yorker cartoonist Tom Toro, A User's Guide to Democracy is a lively crash course in everything you should know about how the US government works.

Do you know what the Secretary of Defense does all day? Are you sure you know the difference between the House and the Senate? Have you been pretending you know what Federalism is for the last 20 years? Don’t worry - you’re not alone. The American government and its processes can be dizzyingly complex and obscure.

Until now.

Within this audiobook are the keys to knowing what you’re talking about when you argue politics with the uncle you only see at Thanksgiving. It’s the audiobook you'll use for quick reference when the nightly news boggles your mind. This approachable and informative guide gives you the lowdown on everything from the three branches of government, to what you can actually do to make your vote count, to how our founding documents affect our daily lives. Now is the time to finally understand who does what, how they do it, and the best way to get them to listen to you.

Incredibly Fun And Informative!!

This is an incredibly fun and informative book! Really helpful in guiding you through the layers of the systems of US government. I already intend on listening to it a second and third time just to be able to keep the knowledge fresh in my mind. Thank you for writing this.
