Day 28
US Government, Politics, and American Citizenship
Learning Targets: Students will be able to....
- Explain how the U.S. Constitution arose out of important historical and philosophical ideas and preferences regarding popular sovereignty and limited government. Compromises were made during the Constitutional Convention and ratification debates, and these compromises have frequently been the source of conflict in U.S. politics over the proper balance between individual freedom, social order, and equality of opportunity.
This assessment is meant to give students and teacher a look into which content areas have been mastered and those that need review or remediation prior to End of Course Exams and/or AP Government Exams.
This exam focuses on the dominant historical narrative of how US government was established and how it has evolved while anchored to the core principles of limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, civil liberties, and economic opportunity.
