	DNK Amazon Store :: Democracy in California: Government and Politics in the Golden State
		But having weathered those challenges, California (and the nation) have had to endure the various phases and consequences of the Prussian administrative state which was the questionable contribution of the Progressive movement in the decades since the State's admission to the Union by the Compromise of 1850.
		California has been shaped for good or for ill by these competing forces and is necessarily presented in this work as a sort of hodge podge in which multiple offices, frequent elections and political cronyism (the Jacksonian contribution) overlap with direct democracy, anti-partyism and professional expertise (the Progressive contribution).
		California defied the odds against republican government but the rise of the administrative state and its seemingly boundless taxing and spending--and bureaucratic meddling--puts the future of that regime in serious question.

		The state is bounded on the north by Oregon, on the east by Nevada and Arizona, on the south by the Mexican state of Baja (“Lower”) California, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
		The word government is derived from a Greek verb meaning “to pilot a ship.” It is a fitting derivation, since, in metaphorical terms, it is the responsibility of government to steer the “ship of state.” Governments have been a part of human history for thousands of years.
		The rugged Mexican peninsula of Lower California, known as Baja California, is, for the most part, a mountain-ridged desert that stretches 760 miles (1,220 kilometers) from the United States–Mexico border in the north to Cabo San Lucas in the south.
