the FBI form its birth in the Progressive Era to the present day.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation gives an accurate
depiction of how the Bureau handles a criminal

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, shows how, in
fulfillment of its mission to remain "the world's premier law
enforcement agency." The FBI has held to the traditions
summarized in its motto: Fidelity, Bravery, and
Integrity.
From the start, Americans have regarded their government with a
mixture of reliance and mistrust. The founders of the republic
understood the importance of government. "If men were angels,"
observed the 51st Federalist Paper, "no government would be
necessary." But men are not angels.
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 workings and makes
clear how our informed participation is crucial to government's
serving both the individual and the American people as a
whole.
