POLITICS AND LAW is a one credit course and will explore how government power and individual rights are balanced under the American political and legal systems. The course will examine the roles of both the political process and the legal process under the Constitutional system, examining such issues as free speech, civil rights, gun control, abortion, and freedom of religion. The course will culminate with moot court arguments, wherein pairs of students will argue key Constitutional issues before a panel of student "judges." The class is open to all grade levels.
