WHAT'S INSIDE

Foundations of the Republic — the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers
The Constitution, Article by Article — all seven Articles, the key clauses (Commerce, Due Process, Supremacy, Equal Protection), and how the document is interpreted
The Three Branches — Congress, the Presidency, the federal courts, and the system of checks and balances
The Bill of Rights — every amendment from First to Tenth, with what each one actually protects
Amendments 11–27 — the Civil War amendments, women's suffrage, civil rights, term limits, and how the Constitution gets changed
How a Law is Made — the bill-to-law journey, the filibuster, presidential vetoes, and what kills most legislation
Federalism — what federal, state, tribal, and local governments do (and don't do)
Elections & Voting — federal and state elections, the Electoral College, primaries, voter registration, voting methods, campaign finance, redistricting, and how votes are counted
Rights & Civic Duties — what you're entitled to, jury service, taxes, and what's asked of you in return
Landmark Supreme Court Cases — twenty rulings that reshaped American life, from Marbury v. Madison to the present
Civil Society & the Press — the fourth estate, interest groups, and political parties

WHY CIVBITES
Most civics resources are either textbooks (too long) or social media posts (too shallow). CivBites is in between: short enough to read on a coffee break, deep enough to actually teach you something. Every lesson is a few minutes long. Each one stands on its own — read in order, or jump to whatever you want to learn next.
The Constitution is only 4,500 words. The federal government is not magic. The Supreme Court is interpretable. CivBites makes all of it readable.

Squashed bugs. Enjoy!

Refinements and polish throughout the app. You can now rate CivBites right from the About screen — thanks for your support!
