We have posted two more Civics in Real Life readings this week! The first looks at the National Institutes of Health. How is support for the general welfare reflected in the work of the National Institutes of Health?
The second reading explores Government Task Forces. How do these reflect Article II of the US Constitution?
We hope that you find this, and others in the series, useful!
