Government is divided into three co-equal branches. That notion is usually foisted on an unsuspecting audience sometime around the third grade and remains
unchallenged throughout all the other key milestones of life: first prom, first car, first election. But are there three co-equal branches? This course may re-define what
it means to be a “branch of government” and explore the relationships among them to see if they are, in fact, “co-equal.” We’ll also look at media coverage of state government to understand how the public gets – or does not get – news about those branches.
