The twelfth edition has been updated and revised in several
important ways. Most importantly, a renewed focus on student
engagement and classroom discussion has informed this new edition.
Moreover, the twelfth edition has been thoroughly updated to
anticipate the Biden administration, to provide a broad assessment
of the Biden presidency, of the impact on the Supreme Court of
Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment, and of the
remarkable 2020 and 2022 election cycles. The implications are
profound and we explore them in depth in this new edition. The new
edition also: * Assesses the characteristics and results of the
Trump administration. * Analyzes the 2020 presidential elections,
how Biden won and Trump lost, andwhat changes were wrought by the
2022 congressional election results. *Describes numerous ways in
which the American political system has been affected by the
Covid-19 pandemic, the economic struggles caused by it, and the
political turmoil in which the January 6, 2021 attack on the
Capitol has played such a visible role. Explores the early Biden
administration, its policy wins and losses, and the change in tone
it has tried to set in Washington and the nation. * Includes new
and revised special features among The Constitution Today, Pro
& Con, Let's Compare boxes, and updates all of the tables and
graphs. * Assesses the implications of the January 6, 2021 attack
on the Capitol and what it implies for our political culture and
partisan politics. * Assesses the implication of "fake news" and
"the move to mobile" for our politics. We ask whether our politics
suffers more from purposeful manipulation of the news, either by
foreign actors like the Russians or domestic actors seeking to
shape opinions and elections, or from the limited information that
many Americans, particularly those dependent on mobile devices,
bring to politics. * Explores the evidence for increasing
polarization in public opinion, voting behavior, and the work of
Congress and the courts. * Details the impact on the Supreme Court
of President Trump's appointments to the Supreme Court of Neil
Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, and Biden's
appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson . * Details the impact that
the Russian invasion of Ukraine had on President Biden's attempt to
rebuild U.S. national security alliances.
