    In this video Heimler walks you through the United States Constitution, which is a required foundational document for the AP Government curriculum.
    The Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation as the governing document of the United States, and in doing so transferred more power into the hands of the federal government. However, in order to keep that power in its proper bounds, the Constitution provides for three branches of government which operate independently from one another but which can also check the power of the others through a system of checks and balances.

If your school has a CCP program I 100% recommend that over AP classes. You learn from professors like any other college kid plus you don’t have to take a test to get credit you just have to pass the class… so much easier!!

    I think there is a mistake at 5:44, you said 2/3 of state legislatures can propose an amendment, but it's actually 2/3 of states can ask congress to organize a convention where the amendment is brought up.
    Also, the amendment can be ratified by 3/4 of state legislatures or 3/4 of special ratifying conventions in the states.

    0:45 by my understanding a republic is a form of government where people vote for representatives who then make the laws. Its often used as a contrast to pure or direct democracy. Therefore the AOC was still a republic. The move from the AOC to the US Constitution is a transition from a confederate to a federal system. A confederacy being a loose affiliation of sovereign member states with most political power held at the state level. While a federal system is the sharing of power between the state and federal governments but with more and now expanded power at the national now federal level.
    So unless there’s a different understanding of the term republic, I think the AOC qualifies as a republic. Also that the transition from AOC to Constitution is best described as a move from a confederate to a federal system. I believe the US constitution is sometimes referred to as the us federal constitution.
    Also I’m pretty sure at the time of the AOC both the national government and state governments were republican in form-in that the ppl voted for representatives.

      the big contrast here is the idea of centralization. even though confederations have delegates from each state, they served practically useless without the agreement of states (since states retained sovereignty)
