Government Thread

Learn how a free people govern themselves — by playing. Government Thread is a free, Duolingo-style game that starts with the one question underneath all of self-government — why do free people build a government at all? — and climbs from there through the Revolution, the Constitution, the three branches, the Bill of Rights, federalism, and the living republic.

The worlds

Why Government? (first principles), Roots of Liberty (where our ideas came from), The Break (the road to independence), and A More Perfect Union (writing the Constitution) — with the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches, the Bill of Rights, the states and federalism, the trials of the republic, and the living republic still ahead.
