This course will examine the Federal government through studying both the Constitution and current events, comparing and contrasting the two (mostly contrasting). The class is light on reading -- we will read the whole Constitution, but most of the nightly homework is simply following and responding to the news. However, the course is heavy on discussion, with weekly seminars on recent events or major political issues.Prerequisites
None.
Recommended background
A vague understanding of the US Constitution would be helpful, but is not a necessity. Also, it would be highly useful if students began following the presidential campaign prior to the first day of the course, ideally as soon as enrollment is confirmed.
