The West Wing Teaching Guide - Seasons 1-7

Yes, there are often lots of inaccuracies, but it’s about the things I love…and that things I teach….double whammy! The West Wing was one of those series, but more than just watching when it was on TV, I now find myself watching it over and over again in the years since it has gone off

Crash Course Government and Politics #36 - Election Basics
This week Craig is going to give you a broad overview of elections in the United States. So as you may have noticed, there are kind of a lot of people in the U.S, and holding individual issues up to a public vote doesn't seem particularly plausible.

So we'll talk about how some of these cockamamie voting districts come to be and explain how Gerrymandering can affect the outcomes (
