APGov Video Resources
The following links will take you to appropriate videos for each chapter of the textbook. Remember, from the syllabus I am aiming for videos that will cover what is important on the AP exam not videos that will copy the textbook exactly. That being said, there are some videos in here that aim to pull out the most important information from the book chapter itself (although they usually refer to an earlier edition of the book).
