A quick understanding of united states of america's systems of governance (federal & state)

We can all serve ourselves and the future of the Young, the Nation and America's Democracy, to Demand Quality Education and Require In-Depth Civics Educational Programming.

We can't truly fault the older generations for the lack of in-depth civics education because it was not provided to them for a reason, nor can we fault the younger generations who have been deprived of even the basics of civics educations that previous generations received. But... NOW that we know the importance of Civics Education... we must demand in-depth Civics Education throughout our Educational Systems.
A New Paradigm in "teaching Civics in necessary, to move away from the "white nationalist format and white dominance agenda" it was formally taught".

Key reasons why students should learn about civics

A truly democratic society relies on its citizens to be informed and ready to act. What good is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people if the people themselves have no idea of what their role as citizens entails or to what civic rights as citizens they are entitled?

Preparing people to become knowledgeable and proactive members of a democratic society requires that they receive proper instruction in civics. Civics education should be included as part of any school’s curriculum for these four important reasons.

Fundamentals of Government

A proper civics education teaches young people about the very basics of how their government works. They learn about the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of government and why these three branches must work together to pass and enforce laws. They also learn about the duties of each individual branch and how all three make up a carefully constructed checks and balances system.

Ownership as Citizens

Civics education also teaches students that when they become adults they can rightfully lay claim to the government as lawful citizens. They learn that it is the voice of the citizenry, not that of obscure elected politicians, that ultimately matters when it comes to shaping the government. Politicians ideally should represent the people. The people in turn have the power to vote politicians in and out of office if the changes they want do not come to fruition.

"A democratic society relies on its people to fulfill their duties as citizens. When they are given a proper civics education, people know what is expected of them and to what limitations the government is bound."

The Future Depends upon a Civics Educated Society, a society of citizenry who invest themselves to learn how to respect and appreciate and promote what is "American Democracy and its System of Governance", and the necessity of responsibility of both Citizens and Governance, to sustain and promote "America", and the Principles of Democracy.

Not only is it people who participate in this site and others who are 'non responsive", "I share posting with others who are "equally so, non responsive".... the callousness of avoiding dialog, investigation, research and discovery of principles and truths.... is a deficit that exist across society, and it is a grave damage to the progress of "America", and the Democracy that it was established to maintain, support and promote.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Center for American Progress

Our mission
The Center for American Progress is an independent nonpartisan policy institute that is dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action. Our aim is not just to change the conversation, but to change the country.

Our values
As progressives, we believe America should be a land of boundless opportunity, where people can climb the ladder of economic mobility. We believe we owe it to future generations to protect the planet and promote peace and shared global prosperity. And we believe an effective government can earn the trust of the American people, champion the common good over narrow self-interest, and harness the strength of our diversity.

Our approach
We develop new policy ideas, challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter, and shape the national debate. With policy teams in major issue areas, CAP can think creatively at the cross-section of traditional boundaries to develop ideas for policymakers that lead to real change. By employing an extensive communications and outreach effort that we adapt to a rapidly changing media landscape, we move our ideas aggressively in the national policy debate.

Systematic Inequality
How America's Structural Racism Helped Create the Black-White Wealth Gap

Several key factors exacerbate this vicious cycle of wealth inequality. Black households, for example, have far less access to tax-advantaged forms of savings, due in part to a long history of employment discrimination and other discriminatory practices. A well-documented history of mortgage market discrimination means that blacks are significantly less likely to be homeowners than whites,3 which means they have less access to the savings and tax benefits that come with owning a home. Persistent labor market discrimination and segregation also force blacks into fewer and less advantageous employment opportunities than their white counterparts.4 Thus, African Americans have less access to stable jobs, good wages, and retirement benefits at work5— all key drivers by which American families gain access to savings. Moreover, under the current tax code, families with higher incomes receive increased tax incentives associated with both housing and retirement savings.6 Because African Americans tend to have lower incomes, they inevitably receive fewer tax benefits—even if they are homeowners or have retirement savings accounts. The bottom line is that persistent housing and labor market discrimination and segregation worsen the damaging cycle of wealth inequality.

America MUST REMOVE These Confederate Ideologist and Their Confederacy Agenda Promoters away from Our Governance Systems, and Forever Banish the White Nationalist Vile of Wealthy White Male Dominance of Plutocratic Agenda and Autocratic Promotions from their continuing aims to damage and pervert America with such "Vile'...

The Future of America has no more time for people hung up in bigoted self centered bias, still "chasing and using words as triggers"... that have direct connections to the Jim Crow Ideology embedded within in their hearts and minds... As if they think no one understands their "twisted" "usage of words such a "Socialist" and attack upon the word "Liberal"...is rooted and groomed through their bias and bigotry and delusions of self centered fictions of superiority.

Anti Liberalism is nothing more than a promotion of attack by those whom embrace a "Delusion of Superiority" who does not want to see or have a nation with "Equality For All"!!!

Such bastardized implication in the usages of the word,"Socialist" from the Right Wing and Conservative utterances, exemplifies the fact, "such types" have no respect for the principles of "Social Society", "Social Cooperation", "Shared Responsibility" as Citizen Persons and Governance Systems and Governmental Functions and all the things that are represented by the words very important statement of "WE THE PEOPLE".... that is contained in The Preamble.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The current protest is made up of people of all skin colors and all ethnicity and from all walks of life, and many are joined by police, and people AROUND THE WORLD.... to stand against "Racist Ignorance" and the long history of its usage of police by racist to promote racist acts against and upon American People.

Across this nation within poor whites know all too well the abuses they too have suffered because of the concepts of labeling and considering them under terms coined by well to do and wealthy whites, as "Poor Whites" with the adjective of "Trash" added to further denigrate them. Along with the vile that has been done and promoted as well against people with non white skin.

Its not just about black people, its about "America People" and People in general around the world... who today stand and say NO MORE Bias, Bigotry, Racism and Prejudiced Driven Acts upon and against other people, not by the Police, Not by systems and organizations and certainly not by the promotions of the evilness of leaders such as Trump and those types of vile megalomaniac mad men who want to dictate and promote authoritarianism over and upon the people.

Trump, Republican Congress and his Administration has insulted America, American People, America's Constitution, America's Declaration of Independence, America's Constitution and Every Agency, Department and Organization within our Governance Systems. He has attacked N.A.T.O, U.N. and WHO and continues an incessant attack upon and against China as it battled the ravages of COVID-19 with dedication and determination to protect the health of its people. It has ramp'ed up its people to produce PPE not just for China but to ship around the World, and yet... these vile of Trump and his Republican Mob continues to launch attacks at and upon China and its People.

America is in Crisis led by a Fanatical Self Obsessed Fool (TRUMP).... he does not have the capability to respect Humanity.... This is a prime example of the vile that made the monster Hitler, and others mass murderer's that have damaged society and destroyed lives. There is a silent Republican Congress as they are complicit in trying to promote their Confederacy Agenda by any means and they are devoted to promoting anything and everything they can to try and spread and sustain a vile system of wealthy white male dominance of white nationalism, and its plutocratic and autocratic agenda....

American People and People around The World have continued to make it clear, that this will not persist and certainly will not prevail to be recreated in America, and other nations are standing up, to ensure such savage vile does not return in their nations.

American Democracy and its Respect for the Humanity within Life... and the Equality of Person as Individual.... will continue to be an example for and to the world as well as the people of America.... to be a making of peace and respect among mankind.

People are everyday learning the Values of Civics Principles in Understanding OUR Democracy and Supporting It!!!!! and appreciating the Multi Ethnic and Multicultural Makeup of Society and the World Community of Persons.
