Welcome to US Government!Throughout our year together, we’ll learn about elections, the Constitution, political behavior, the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, the media, branches of government, state/local governments and much more. We will incorporate as many current events as we can to illustrate the topics we’re discussing. Our goal is for this class to be relevant and useful to you so that you are an informed citizen, especially since many of you are 18 or will be soon.
