AP Government and Politics
Welcome to AP US Government and Politics. To use this site effectively, find the learning objectives and work towards those. There is at least one learning objective for each topic, labelled by initials: "LO". Each learning objective is written to be specific enough to get you started on the content but vague enough that it can be later adjusted for new, never-before-seen questions on the AP exam, meaning those questions are how College Board prepares their questions. Under that you will find the key concepts (they are the underlined numbers, this is how College Board organizes them) that are tied to each learning objective with a specific Big Idea attached to them. The big ideas help you categorize them while the key concepts get more specific about what College Board wants you to know. If you can define, describe, and explain all the key concept information, you should do well. To help understand them, click the bold items (these are links) as well as the relevant pictures and images (all pictures are links). Some of the links will take you to foundational documents and court cases that College Board expects you to be familiar with, others will take you to optional readings and resources that College Board recommends, and still others are helpful resources to help you understand the concepts that I have pulled myself. Good luck!
