Government Foundations sets the stage for the grand drama of American politics and government, from
the composing of the Constitution to recent changes in the scope of civil liberties. Here you can investigate
the fundamentals of democracy; how power is distributed between the national, state, and local governments;
and what is legal and illegal in the United States, and how this has changed over time.
Of special importance in this section is the wide variety of Source Readings. Note John Locke’s
On Liberty in the Civil Liberties subsection, and also the numerous Supreme Court decisions throughout
the subsections. |
