What happens when the basic explanations about how government works fall short of the present moment? This question led the educational YouTube channel Crash Course to partner with USAFacts to create “Big Questions on US Government,” a 15-part video series discussing the contentious topics that define American politics.
Each episode traces a current issue, such as election integrity, and explains the history, political science, and data behind it. Complexly, the company that produces Crash Course, and USAFacts, designed the series to be nonpartisan and to inform rather than to persuade.
