Great class today Metro AP Gov! Your focus and energy was on point. Anybody watching would never have known it was first period on a Monday morning. I hope you are continuing to develop your understanding of how the Constitution is the foundation of American Government.
The more you think critically about the reasons behind the structure of the Constitution, the more you will be able to apply these concepts to the pivotal political events taking place every day. Keep reading, keep asking questions, and keep listening to each other. Here are the links we reviewed today.
