Abstract	This reader is designed to be used in a one-semester curriculum program which is linked to topics outlined in the American Issues Forum calendar. It is intended for use at the local level. Some of the principal conditions affecting the development of American ideas and institutions are examined. Focus is on the settlement of the North American continent, the changing patterns of the natural landscape, the emergence of a political ideology for a free society, and the formation of a democratic political structure. The issues are discussed in light of their bearing on the United States in 1976. The reader offers a selection of documents, essays, memoirs, poetry, and fiction. Divided into four units, its topics include A Nation of Nations; The Land of Plenty; Certain Unalienable Rights; and A More Perfect Union: The American Government. It contains well-known articles, such as "Red, White, and Black" by Nash; "The Promised Land" by Antin; "My Antonia" by Cather; "Man and Nature" by Marsh; the Bill of Rights from the U.S. Constitution; "Federalist No. 78" by Hamilton; and "The Imperial Presidency" by Schlesinger. This reader can be used in conjunction with the corresponding study guide, leader's source book, newspaper packet, and examination questions. (Author/ND)
