Resources

As we prepare for the AP Exam, we'll take some time to review all the important content on civil rights and liberties from Unit 3, going over the tough concepts and answering your questions. We discuss the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, the relevant SCOTUS cases, the concept of selective incorporation, and end with an overview of social movements and affirmative action.
