Michael Burgan explains why and how our government has this system of checks and balances, going back to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and exploring the question of Who is sovereign? It includes up-to-date photographs, including the Roberts Court (Justice Kagan and Justice Sotomayor are there), Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, and President Obama and Vice President Biden.
