American Government
Required course for Seniors:
American government is a study of our national, state, and local units of
government. This will include the
development of our governmental structures, basic concepts such as limited
government, popular sovereignty, checks and balances, separation of powers,
personal freedoms, rule of law, majority rule, and minority rights.
We will investigate in depth the three branches of government and their
functions, the United States constitution, South Dakota’s government and our
local governmental structures. Current
issues relating to the issues involving the government will also be included in
weekly discussions.
