Civics

A one semester course (Fall) that examines the classical, English, and colonial origins of our political system followed by an in depth examination of the Constitutional Convention and the Constitution itself, including landmark Supreme Court decisions. Special topics include the history of women and African Americans in their respective struggles for political freedom and equality. Weekly integration of current events provides the basis for class discussions, presentations, and debates concerning our continuing experiment in representative government.
