Democratic societies do not function without the participation of informed and responsible citizens. To participate effectively, American citizens need intellectual and participatory skills, as well as knowledge about their government and society. Acquisition of civic knowledge and skills makes possible a reasoned commitment to those fundamental values and principles essential to the preservation and improvement of American constitutional democracy. Students will focus on five significant and enduring questions.The five questions are:

• What are civic life, politics and government?


• What are the origins and foundations of the American political system?


• How does the government established by the Constitution function to embody the purposes, values and principles of American constitutional democracy?


• What is the relationship of the United States to other nations and its role in world affairs?


• What are the roles of citizens in American society?
