    About this ebook

    Trying to comprehend the US government can almost make your mind shut down. You need to understand how it stacks up to governments around the world (from democracy to dictatorship), how systems and laws change over time (years ago, women couldn't vote!), and who holds the power today (how do big decisions get made?).

    How can all these laws and ideas make more sense? Infographics! The charts, maps, and illustrations in this book tell a visual story to help you better understand key concepts about our country's government.

    Crack open this book to explore mind-boggling questions such as:

    • Why was the first government created?
    • How does a system of checks and balances work?
    • Where does all that tax money go?

    The answers will help make you a model citizen!

      Regenerating Politics

      Mar 24, 2022

      Long, long ago, when various versions of humans first walked the earth, they did so in small groups. They made decisions in the moment, and I like to think that while the Big Male probably had the loudest voice, he also listened to the others as they

      I’d end the five-day working week. We begin this “five days on, two days off” structure in our school days and it’s a kind of mind-control brainwashing to get you into set belief systems. I’d also change the idea of education as rote memorisation and
