About This Book

The manual explains the rights and duties of citizens, distinguishing native-born and naturalized status, civil versus political rights, and voting qualifications while urging voters—particularly newly enfranchised women—to educate themselves about public issues and party organization. It outlines how government functions at national and state levels, the purpose of constitutions, lawmaking and enforcement, and the roles of courts and public institutions. Practical advice stresses studying candidates, participating in party life, and protecting home and community through informed voting. Short chapters define key terms, summarize governmental structure, and encourage responsible, informed participation in democratic processes.
