I am trying to understand the U.S. Government better.?

Question

does anyone know of any good websites that explain the different layers and seats of government and their roles and the relationships between the different groups?

Answer 1

United States Constitution and the United States Bill of rights. The structure keeps changing but the basics pretty much remains the same.

Answer 2

Trying to relate the constitution to the current U.S. government won't give you a great understanding but, you should do it anyways. It will give you the basis for why politicians believe the way they do.

I would key word: history of the republican party and then do the democratic party. Both should give you a explanation of how this all started.

While you are on this journey, don't forget that the government is operated by the people we elect and, we elect people based on charisma and how well they are able to dodge bullets that the other party continually shoots.
