foundations of government

American Government - the basics

Our American system of government is derived from the collective minds of the Founders, then morphed through the centuries by legislative, executive, and judicial action into the system we know today. This unit will focus on the founding of the United States, the creation of the Constitution, and the changes to federalism through the present. This unit will focus on chapters 1-3 in Edwards.
