How the System Works

A free course on how government really runs: who decides, by what power, and how you hold them to account.

43 chapters in 8 units, from who fixes your street to how a bill becomes law, who gets paid when policy passes, and how to show up and be heard.

Balanced by design: every debate is argued by its strongest advocates on the left and the right, and every claim is labeled fact, analysis or opinion. Take it alone or with a local study group.
