Historical perspective

Revel® American Government AP® Edition examines how the United States is governed today by looking not just at present structures and behavior but also at the Framers’ intentions and how they have been implemented and adapted over the years.

The 14th edition includes the 2020 election of President Biden plus the 2022 Midterm Election updates. Many of the chapters open with new historical vignettes, and a new feature, Critical Thinking, provides a contextual window for political systems and allow students to explore diverse political perspectives on these big-picture questions. New Journal prompts require students to think critically about politics today in context of a worldwide pandemic and widespread actions against racial injustice.

Revel® American Government AP® Edition empowers students to actively participate in learning. More than a digital textbook, Revel delivers an engaging blend of author content, media, and assessment. With Revel, students read and practice in one continuous experience, anytime, anywhere, on any device.
