In this fascinating volume, readers will be given an in-depth
look at the individuals who have held the position of secretary
of state. Throughout this country's history, this senior diplomat
has filled the critical job of handling U.S. relations with
foreign powers.
Since the very first moments of the United States' existence, the country has had to maintain diplomatic ties with other nations. Communication plays a pivotal role in the search for peace and the growth of trade. As the head of the State Department, the secretary of state works closely with some of the most powerful officials in the U.S. government. The secretary of state guides foreign policy through combined efforts with the secretary of defense and the president.
The delegates who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 to write the Constitution had two purposes in mind: They wanted to establish a strong central authority and to limit that central authority's capacity to abuse its power.
The series YOUR GOVERNMENT: HOW IT WORKS provides an in-depth examination of our government and its processes and makes clear how our informed partici-pation is crucial to government's serving both the individual and the American people as a whole.
