TeenGOV will help students understand the workings of the government and develop an understanding of how they can be involved in the process. The White House section explains some of the duties of the president and how the Electoral College works. The Capitol Building section discusses the two houses of Congress, its purpose, and how citizens can help make laws. The Supreme Court section explores how justices are chosen, how they review cases, and their terms.
