I'm not talking the conspiracy variety, but just a good intro level in American civics. I realized today that I wasn't never taught about the system of American government in any my classes throughout school. Strange. I always figured Civics was up there as necessary curriculum.
>>489075568The Constitution covers most of it, but the real machinery is the wheeling and dealing and corruption and lobbying that goes on
>>489075836For sure. What I want to know is the system of government in all of its branches, its responsibilities and relationships in a 101 style. American government is far shadier and more corrupt than anything you would learn in a primer read, but I do want to know what the American government is supposed to be without the opinion/diatribe aspect.
>>489075836I guess I'll start by reading the Federalist Papers. Classic for a reason.
>>489076066>suppose to bethe constitutional republic was erected to enable the few literates existing in the colonies to forever expel tyrants, as well as build a framework to prevent what happened to athens when we became strong enough to throw off the chains of time

federalist papers and blackstone commentaries
Unironically project 2025, it describes in excruciating detail as to what every federal agency actually does and how.
>>489075836That useless paper that only gets invoked to tell us why we must surrender to invaders? Fuck that gay piece of shit.
>>489075568Also read up on the Whiskey Rebellion to see just how fake history really was all along.
>>489075568>I don't want truth I just want mainstream (((historical narrative)))

>>489075568In this order:>constitution>federalist papers>used law school text book or treatise on constitutional law for landmark cases You will need the latter to understand how the system was applied to reality instead of the ideals of American enlightenment thinkers who were well intended but not mystics who could see the future. You can pick one up for cheap online. >I'm not talking the conspiracy variety, but just a good intro level in American civics.You’ll need to go into this for anything Civil War onward because there was a heap of complete fuckery that went on at a congressional level and we are still suffering from the consequences of the Lincoln administration. May that lanky bastard be remembered as one of the worst things to happen to this country.>t. lawfag

>>489075568Get the AP Barron's or Princeton Review guide to AP US History. It will be a 200 page review and outline of the AP History Test that good students in the US take their senior year. If you want a book examining the founding fathers I suggest Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis. It is assisned in many Freshman US History Before 1877 classes.

>>489079716Law fag indeed, more like picrel. None of this covers the motivational texts that he asked for like Candide. Read this dusty tome full of shit laws that obfuscate our system of government and should have been repealed as repugnant to the constitution thus completely negating OP's question.>Doesn't mention Blackstone's commentariesYour comment was useless.
>>489075568Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville
>>489079567I guess you could read that too.
>>489081076That is one retarded book right there.
>>489080861>None of this covers the motivational texts that he asked forHe did not ask for motivational texts. He asked for an entry level American civics and the best place to start for that is the constitution itself and the federalist papers after because they were written to explain why they wrote the constitution as is. Please learn how to read before you call others retarded. >blackstone’s commentariesDo you want him to have an overview of tort law or American civics?
