| World's Smallest Political Quiz | ||
| While there are many sites on the Web that profess to tell you your political views, this one actually does a fairly good job and, as claimed, it is incredibly short! This is a fun way to get more information on the different political ideologies (there are short definitions after you have finished). Since questions of fairness are pertinent, this is a good exercise for this chapter and/or the earlier chapter on political ideologies. ( http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html ) | ||

These are classics of American political thought, and still speak to current concerns about the strengths and weaknesses of government which may move too quickly and/or too slowly. The full text of all 85 essays is on-line here in an easy to use format. ( http://thomas.loc.gov/home/histdox/fedpapers.html ) | ||
