Welcome to AP United States Government and Politics
This is the main page for the course and you will see that this section of my website also contains lessons and documents for
Units 1 through 5. The main text will always be in blue. Any item that is in brown contains a link and all you have to do is "click to open." Any text in green or purple contains special instructions or assignments that will be given out during the course of the school year.
