American Civics 101: How Our Democracy Should Work

About this course:

Rapid changes are taking place in our democratic institutions and norms that will affect every U.S. Citizen. In this course, we discuss the U.S. Constitution and amendments, the functions and responsibilities of the co-equal branches of government, gerrymandering, reconciliation, states’ rights vs. federal rights, as well as a discussion on what’s changed since the election and what these changes mean in the long and short term. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom.
