This class is design to allow you to understand American government. We will use this course as a tool for learning what government is, how it was established, how it has changed throughout its history, and how it affects your daily life. As a U.S. citizen and Ohio resident, you can have a significant influence in your government. The government on all levels influences your daily life. Understanding your government, and how it works, will better enable you to influence its future. Each chapter will introduce you to a new topic or extend your knowledge of a previous topic. Emphasis will also be placed on mastery of content of any state-mandated tests that may be assigned.
