"Government and Administration of the United States" by Westel W. Willoughby and William F. Willoughby is a scholarly work, likely written in the early 20th century. This publication serves as a detailed manual aimed at students learning about the intricacies of American political institutions and governance. The authors focus on the framework of the U.S. government, its historical evolution, and the functions of various administrative bodies, intending to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these structures operate in practice. The opening of the book introduces its purpose and scope, outlining that it was originally designed for public school use in Washington, D.C. The authors emphasize that their aim is not to offer a complete textbook but to present key aspects of the federal system that illuminate its administration, beyond what typical civic education materials provide. They assert the importance of examining how the U.S. government has evolved over time, stressing that the contemporary government extends far beyond the original 1787 Constitution. Willoughby and Willoughby then begin to discuss the fundamental functions of government, including legislative, judicial, and executive powers, and briefly delve into various forms of government, such as monarchy and democracy, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of American governance.
