With its brief format and new, four-color design, AMERICAN GOVERNMENT: POLITICAL CHANGE AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT provides a framework of historical development and institutional change to help students understand American government and politics. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the historical development of the institution or process presented, and then examines its role in contemporary American politics at length. Taken as a whole, the book tells the story of American government from its inception to its current role and responsibility as lone superpower in an increasingly global environment.

Looking closely at the roll-call voting records, the author examines the patterns of cooperation and conflict among individual delegates and their state delegations as voting units; analyzes the changes in voting coalitions and the implication of those changes for the resolution of critical substantive issues before the Convention; and shows how these major issues were addressed, modified, and resolved from the opening of the Convention on May 25, 1787, to its final adjournment on September 17. The result is a conceptually sophisticated and empirically accurate understanding of the politics of constitution making in the Federal Convention that the author hopes will allow us to see the democratic politics of our own age in clearer perspective.
