Course Description:

This semester course takes an in-depth look at the foundations of American government, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the democratic process. Students will examine how political parties and interest groups work; the roles of the executive, legislative and judicial branches; and the responsibility of Federal, State, and Local governments. These topics represent the culmination of civic literacy as students prepare to vote, participate in community activities, and assume the responsibilities of citizenship.
