Since the U.S. government is based off the Constitution, a major area of study in Civics class will be (drumroll) The Constitution.
Weekly homework will be questions about the Constitution and it's background. The links below will help you answer those questions. Please pay attention to the 'primers' that I will release. They will have many of the answers in them.
Do not cut and paste answers from the below website into your homework. I mainly grade you about your understanding of the questions and the original answers and critical thinking that you will provide. If you are consistently receiving zeroes or ones, then you are either not understanding the questions or copying your answers.
These are general links to the text of the Constitution.
