Trivia About Politics

By Lance D. Williams

Politics can be very polarizing worldwide. There have been good politicians, bad politicians, and terrible dictators. Policies that helped progress in society and policies that have held people back. There are a lot of people who will tell you how important it is to vote, and after they do, don't pay attention again until the next election. They don't keep track of the people in office. There are so many people who don't know the names of their local representatives or can't name one bill being proposed. But they can tell you every detail about a reality TV show. This book covers different types of politics throughout history around the world, to hopefully help people learn about things they didn't know about.
