4th PERIOD

Class info

This course explores American Government, starting with the foundations all the way through the complexities of modern government, tribal government, MN government, and foreign policies. Students will examine core ideas such as natural rights, constitutional design, individual rights, the 3 branches, and the ongoing balance between liberty and equality, majority rule and minority rights, and individual freedoms and the common good. Additionally, we will explore elections, political parties, civic participation, and practical skills for informed engagement in the democratic processes. By the end of the semester, students should develop an understanding of how American government functions and adapts/impacts diverse communities, both past and present. 

Let's have a great semester!
