Join the hustle and bustle at the U.S. Capitol. This book for middle-grade readers gives a comprehensive overview of the U.S. Congress, detailing its historical evolution, structure, and functions. It covers key events, such as the Constitutional Convention, the Civil War, and major legislative acts. It also discusses the roles of the House and Senate, the legislative process, and contemporary challenges like polarization and gerrymandering. Notable figures and events, such as Sam Rayburn and the January 6 attack, are highlighted. Emphasizing the importance of citizen engagement in the legislative process, this book aligns with NCSS standards for power, authority, and governance.
