The American experiment has protected our freedoms in ways that we take for granted and make us the envy of the world. It is our duty, as Americans to be engaged and informed citizens – and this class will help each student become just that!  

This section of my multi-part course will introduce the Executive Branch of our government - the Presidency! We will examined the requirements to run for President from Article II of the Constitution, powers of the president, and the duties and responsibilities that are carried out by the President.

By the end of the multi-part course, students will understand features of the United States political system, such as Federalism, the branches of government, the Electoral College and political parties. As a class we will explore the United States Constitution and its importance to the survival of our Republic. Students will not only understand the concepts and ideas presented to them, but also be able to apply them to a vast number of situations in the future.  

The final unit of the course will introduce students to the topic of Economics and the Free Market. We will cover introductory themes of Micro and Macro Economics, supply and demand and the role of the Free Market in the American Founding.
