Learning goals, teacher guide & model limits
Goal: Distinguish ordinary federal legislation from constitutional amendment and apply institutional checks.
Supporting course connections: CL.C&G.1.1: founding principles · CL.C&G.2: branch roles. These identify practice opportunities, not full standards coverage, guaranteed learning gains, or official AP endorsement. Exact local pacing may differ.

Use approximately one session per level, with time for discussion and revision. Actual playing and writing time has not been measured with students. Students can complete the mechanical actions more quickly; the explanation and comparison are part of the task.
Selected federal routes only. Committee work, leadership, and detailed parliamentary procedures are compressed.
Completion checks verify practical requirements and minimum writing length. They do not grade the argument. Review the portfolio for accurate concepts, specific evidence, reasoning, and limits.

Progress saves locally when available. Students can export and import a campaign file. On shared computers, export and then clear the campaign. No real financial, medical, political-preference, or identifying student information is required.
