What Does an Officeholder Do?

By Chris Townsend

Book Overview

America is a representative democracy. This means that voters choose people to represent them in government. Some are chosen to lead government. Others are chosen to make laws. Some states even allow for judges to be elected. This allows the people to choose who interprets the law. There are office holders at every level of government from City Hall to the White House. How do these people get elected? What do they do once they are elected? This book explores the civic role of office holder using an inquiry and fact-based exploration within the C-3 Framework.
