    Government Shutdown: When Politics Stops Government 1-Day Civics Mini Unit for Teens

    When Congress can’t agree on a budget, the government shuts down—but what does that really mean for everyday Americans?

From the 1980s to the present, they’ll trace the evolution of shutdowns, examine real-world consequences, and wrestle with critical questions about checks and balances, power, and accountability.
