0How does the U.S. government work? What processes are needed to create a new law, become a citizen, or elect a president? With a running timeline on each spread, each book in this series clearly explains the basic workings of our government to inspire our future leaders. This book for elementary readers highlights the sequence of events from idea to implementation. Full-color photographs and a timeline support each step in the process, from first arrival in the U.S. through the application process, interview and final ceremony. A table of contents, glossary, further resources, and an index are included.
