Launched in 2008, the Khan Academy offers wide-ranging free courses that empowers learners to study at their own pace, both in and out of the classroom and provides courses on US government and the Constitution.
A strong democracy depends on an informed citizenry that understands how the U.S. government functions and the role of each branch in maintaining a system of checks and balances. Knowing these fundamentals equips you to hold your elected officials accountable and advocate for a democracy that is true to its principles
Understanding the Constitution is essential for protecting the rights and freedoms we hold dear as citizens. The Constitution 101 course provides a clear, accessible introduction to the principles and framework that underpin our government.
By learning about the Constitution, you can better understand the responsibilities of elected officials, the balance of power, and the rights guaranteed to every citizen.
Understanding the Constitution empowers you to recognize when actions taken by the government may overstep constitutional boundaries and helps you advocate effectively for the preservation of democratic norms.
