In a republic of sovereign citizens, it is essential that people have an understanding of their government and its structures. In order to be productive citizens and good stewards of the Republic, students should leave school with a fluency in such concepts as federalism, separation of powers, the rights of individuals, and political parties, among others. This course will expand the opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of government, and of political culture, through the study of philosophical, constitutional, institutional and social underpinnings that form the basis of American government and politics. Through the analysis of a variety of sources and materials, students will achieve a richer comprehension of our great national democratic experiment. Additionally, this course will help prepare students for the A.P. Government Institutions and Policies exam, which is given in May.
