The worksheets are presented in six units. Unit I explains how groups and organizations contribute to the American political system. Unit II discusses origins of the American nation, drafting of the constitution, early changes in the constitution and government, and constitutional amendments. Unit III focuses on governmental authority, political parties, and objectives of the federal government. Unit IV considers responsibilities of the Congress and the President and explains how the federal court system works. Unit V focuses on the purposes and organization of state governments. The final unit discusses income tax, cooperation between federal and state governments, and basic principles of government. Within each unit, background reading and worksheets containing multiple choice questions are presented. Also presented are instructions to students on how to complete lessons, budget time for study, find answers to worksheet questions, and find assistance in completing and mailing in course work. (DB)
