It is not the function of the government to stop the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to
keep the government from falling into error.
To become a millionaire is not about how much you earn, but how much you spend

I. Course Description

This seminar is designed to educate young minds on the two most essential and relevant subjects in your life,
Government & Economics. Throughout the course, you will be required to use Brain Honey and the website
below to submit your work. Your assessments will include blogs, quizzes, and tests. It will be the goal of mine
to have you grasp the importance of each of these topics, Government and Economics, and I want to improve
your level of knowledge of each so that you can apply them to enhance your life. This course will be
challenging, but it will be attainable to have success within this course if you keep pace and do the little
things: read, take notes, post blogs, watch videos, and perform at high levels on the assessments. Below is a
chart that you will use as a way to keep pace in the course.
