"Our Constitution and Government" is a Federal Textbook on Citizenship, prepared by John G. Hervey and Catheryn Seckler-Hudson. Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C., this 1967 revised edition serves as a simplified guide for public school use by candidates for citizenship. Hervey, a former Dean and Professor of Constitutional Law at Temple University, and Seckler-Hudson, a former professor at The American University, bring authoritative insights into the U.S. Constitution and government operations. This edition, identified as M-8, is part of a series designed to educate new citizens. Scarce in this specific revised format, it provides a historical perspective on citizenship education. The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the cover but intact pages, making it a valuable addition for collectors of government publications and educational materials.
