520 _a"Government in the United States, National, State and Local" by James Wilford Garner is a comprehensive treatise on the structure and function of various levels of government in the United States, written in the early 20th century. The book covers the organization and dynamics of national, state, and local governance, emphasizing the roles and responsibilities of these entities in the American political system. Garner likely aims to educate readers about the complexities of government operations and the importance of active citizenship and political engagement. The opening of the work sets the stage by outlining the goals of the author: to present the leading facts about the workings of American government at all levels, with a focus on local governance. Garner highlights the significance of local self-government as a foundation of American democracy, discussing the dynamics between local, state, and national authorities. He elaborates on the various systems of local government, including towns, townships, and counties, while also discussing the advantages of local self-governance, such as promoting political responsibility and involvement among citizens. The text serves as both an academic resource and a guide for understanding the role of citizens in governance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
