American Government This study of the nature and structure of American government includes an overview of federal, state, county, and municipal systems. Emphasis is placed on the structure of the U.S. Constitution, the functions of the three branches of government, and the major founding documents of the American system. Course may require participation in the outside classroom activities/events that relate to the course outcomes.
