Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Domestic & Foreign Policy. Suitable for Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Evaluating domestic and foreign policy helps citizens understand how government decisions shape both everyday life and the nation's role in the world.
The United States participates in international organizations and agreements to address shared challenges and advance national interests.
Issues such as immigration, trade, energy, public health, and climate change can involve both domestic and international policy considerations.
Domestic policy choices can affect foreign policy outcomes, and foreign policy decisions can influence conditions within the United States.
Domestic and foreign policy decisions involve tradeoffs because governments have limited resources and must balance different goals.
Domestic and foreign policy decisions both reflect national priorities, public values, and competing interests.
The president plays a leading role in foreign policy as commander in chief, chief diplomat, and negotiator of treaties, while Congress checks executive power through funding, treaty ratification, and the power to declare war.
The president, Congress, executive agencies, courts, and citizens can all influence domestic and foreign policy decisions.
The United States uses foreign policy tools such as diplomacy, treaties, sanctions, economic aid, humanitarian assistance, and military action to pursue national interests and respond to international challenges.
Governments use foreign policy to protect national security, manage international relationships, promote economic interests, and respond to global challenges.
Governments use domestic policy to respond to public needs such as education, health, transportation, safety, and economic stability.
Domestic policy addresses issues within the United States, while foreign policy addresses relationships with other countries and global issues.
