History 12 – Government  and Economics

Government (1/2 Year) focuses on the establishment of American government, a comprehensive study of the Constitution, the symbols inherent within the American governmental system, and the rights and privileges our government guarantees the American people. After studying the Constitution and the national government, students learn about federalism and government at the state and local levels. This course concludes with a look at the opportunities and responsibilities of American citizens to get involved in their unique local political system.

Economics (1/2 Year) emphasizes the free enterprise capitalism in a free market economy. The biblical views of work, wealth, and stewardship help students understand the proper economic roles of individual producers and consumers as well as that of the government from a biblical perspective. The stark contrast between the market economy—the cornerstone of prosperity in the United States—and the command economy—the hallmark of fiscal failure in Communist countries—are presented in illustration of the economic principles that govern all societies. Essential concepts such as competition in the marketplace and private ownership of capital are discussed as well.
