Politics affect all
of our lives on a daily basis. Concepts such as “politics,” “government,”
“power,” and “democracy” may seem familiar to us but are in fact complex and
multi-faceted subjects. The goal of this course is to provide you with an
overview of the American government at the national level. In this course, we
will examine and explore topics such as government structure, the U.S.
Constitution, civil liberties and civil rights, political parties, voting
behavior, public opinion, and interest groups. Discussion of current issues and
trends in political science will be encouraged.
