1 Instructor: Mr. Steven Murphy Room: Political Science Course Syllabus Course Overview The United States is a diverse population in the places we live and how we live. Many Americans share the belief that freedom, justice, and equality forms the adhesive that holds our contrasting nation together. Family, education, religion, education and the economy are five basic institutions that teach Americans these shared values. In this course, we will try to encourage a foundation that will lead students to become active citizens. Through the year, students will explore the rights, duties, and responsibilities of American citizenship. The students will also create an understanding of the roots of our nation s government, and how an unhappy America deleted the Articles of Confederation for our current Constitution. Over time, pupils will also dive into the basic protections they have found in our Bill of Rights. Students will be able to explore the work of the federal government and how the three branches of government work together as an effective team. Government class would not be complete without the knowledge of our local and state government as those levels are the closest to the heart of each American. Finally, the American government course would not be complete without three basic issues that impact our daily lives in the United States: the economy, the court system, and political parties. Course Content: Students will: - Analyze America s political heritage from the Colonial Experience to the movement toward nationhood. - Create an understanding of the U. S. Constitution from the Constitutional Convention to the document we know as the Supreme Law of the Land. - Explore the Bill of Rights from they Protections that are there to be able to interpret the meaning of the Bill of Rights. - Explain how the Constitution continues to change, and be flexible to an everchanging nation. - Compare and Contrast the three Branches of the Federal Government, and how each keeps an eye on the others. - Understand the impact state and local governments have on their daily lives. - Describe the foundations of American citizenship, society s values, and the meaning of being an American citizen. - Analyze the American Economic system, and how it compares to the economies of other nations around the world. - Discuss the American legal system, and how justice is achieved through the American court system. - Explore how people make a difference in our democracy with an emphasis on voting and political parties.
2 Textbook and Supplemental Materials: The textbook used for this class will be Civics: Government and Economics in Action. Students may bring these books home from time to time to complete course work.
