It is suitable for all adults. The course focuses on and includes the unabridged texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance, the U.S. Constitution, Federalist no. 51 and Federalist no.10.

There are dozens of thoughtful discussion questions, and a test bank of 99 questions available to teachers on request.…
