<p>I'll also be taking US Military in the 1900's as well.</p>
<p>Main question is, does AP Government rely on AP US a lot? Will the classes compliment each other? </p>
<p>There will be some overlap as the government was obviously formed in history. </p>
<p>Not sure I understand why or how you would also be taking US military in the 1900s. If that is a HS course, they are wasting the tax/tuition dollars. Spend your time on something more important to rounding your education.</p>
<p>(I am saying this as someone with a BS in Political Science with a minor in History)</p>
<p>The classes will definitely compliment each other (I’ve done this combo before). It leads to very useful information for both classes. For example, you can use history to explain when key court cases and etc.</p>
<p>AP Government does not rely on APUSH. I actually took AP Government before I took APUSH, and while there is lots of overlap, one doesn’t rely on the other. I think it’ll be a really nice experience, to be taking both classes at once.</p>
<p>Many kids in my grade did this last year and it definitely worked out for them! The classes compliment each other because similar major supreme court cases are discussed in both classes. The workload will be tough though.</p>
