Preparation for responsible citizenship in a democracy is the goal of this required course.  Upon completion of this course students will be able to identify the various branches of our federal government, the branch’s functions, as well as the political process involved in electing citizens to the constitutional offices.  A study of the U.S. Constitution, significant U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and a daily observance of current events that affect our lives will round out our term.
