Excerpt from Readings on Parties and Elections, in the United States As our civilization grows more complex and our population greater, the organization and working of party government becomes something in which the citizen feels an increasing interest. Whether we welcome the change or not, the state plays a growing part in our everyday lives; our food is standardized, the charge for moving of goods or persons from place to place is regulated, many businesses formerly considered private are subjected to control because of the peculiar relation in which they stand to the public. The house of the citizen is no longer his castle within which the state may not prescribe the manner of life, and a large part of our population is no longer "free" to work where it will and for as long as it may please. When such a change in the sphere of the state is coming over our national life, it becomes important, as never before, that the people who are subject to regulation should exercise control over those who set the laws. Party is the means by which public policy is determined. To have efficient control we must have parties responsive to the popular will, parties whose actions turn on public policy, not on the will of agents whom the public cannot control. Government of the people is government by party in all modem states. Clean government and normal party action are possible in a democracy only when those who are governed understand how they are governed. It is to make easy of access some of the best discussions illustrative of the development, present organization, abuses and remedies for the defects of our party government that this book is published.

"Principles and Practice of American Politics is a well-balanced reader covering all the major topics of an American Government course." —Blake Jones, Ohio Valley University Combining timeless readings with cutting-edge articles and essays, Principles and Practice of American Politics, Seventh Edition, enriches students’ understanding of the American political system by examining the strategic behavior of key players in U.S. politics. This collection of classic and contemporary readings brings concepts to life by providing students with real examples of how political actors are influenced by the strategies of others and are governed by the Constitution, the law, and institutional rules. Carefully edited by award-winning authors Samuel Kernell and Steven S. Smith, each reading is put into context to help students understand how political actions fall within a major national political forum. New to the Seventh Edition Nine new and updated essays encourage students to reflect on the continuing debates over the polarization of the American electorate and Congress, the role of social media and "fake news" in influencing public views of politicians and issues, the fragile Trump coalition, the efficacy of polling in tracking public opinion, and other issues more relevant than ever in the wake of the 2016 elections. Additional essays challenge students to think more carefully about alternative institutions and political arrangements. The new essays present institutions of majority rule, the nature of racial discrimination, and the proper role of the court as less settled issues that provide students an opportunity to think through (and discuss) their views on the future direction of American civic life. Each selection is artfully framed by Kernell and Smith’s contextual headnotes to make them appropriate for classroom use. Original readings written specifically for the volume give the book a coherent treatment of the performance of U.S. political institutions.

The third edition of Politics, Parties, and Elections in America is a comprehensive text that incorporates the latest research concerning what political parties do, how they are organized, how party leaders behave, the impact of parties on government, and the evolving nature of parties. Bibby's experience in national and state politics and the use of current political events, such as the Clinton presidency, the Republican sweep in the 1994 elections, and the 1996 presidential nominating politics, give the text a practical political orientation and make the material interesting and understandable. This revealing survey of American politics also discusses the limitations of political parties, the mechanics of elections, and how American politics have come to be controlled by the political parties.
