The Constitution and American Government

Let me ask you a questions.; When someone says the word government, what generally happens soon after?   

In today’s political climate, it seems almost impossible to get accurate, unbiased information about the principles that formed our nation’s system of government without starting a fight.

This course will talk all about the creation of the constitution using actual quotes from the very men who wrote it. It’ll guide you through each part of the constitution article by article and explain to you how this document lays out the foundation for our government and its function. It will also go through each of the 27 amendments to the constitution, telling you all about how they affect you personally.

Think of this course like a grand tour of our nation and its most important places. During it you’ll visit the battlefields of the American Revolution, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, The Capitol, White House, and the Supreme Court, and to the National Archives where the Bill of Rights and amendments sit today.

This course was originally designed for teachers looking to pass their government requirements or for candidates for citizenship, but it's also great for students studying for the AP exam, and of course, anyone who wants to learn more about our nation and its history!

I hope you’ll consider taking this course, and also hope you enjoy taking it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you.
