AP US Government and Politics | History School (2022)
About the Course
The AP US Government and Politics test requires strong knowledge of fourteen landmark Supreme Court cases considered to address a range of significant constitutional questions. This course provided an in-depth study and analysis of those fourteen cases. It explored the background, message, and impact of each on American history and government. In addition, the course discussed how these cases might be used on the AP exam.
The filming of this course occurred when Roe v. Wade (1973) was still a required case.
