Week 1 Objectives

In Week 1, we are learning about the philosophical background of the US Constitution and how the American system of government was designed as a federal republic based on the principles of representative democracy. Prior to the start of the American Revolution, the Founders agreed on some core principles that necessitated the independence of the colonies from the British Monarchy.  

We are also learning about the representative democracy and the US system of representation, including what constitutes citizen engagement, and theories about how representation works.
