Mr. Crown's United States History and Government Page
"But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary...A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions."

"I regard it as an impious and detestable maxim that in matters of government the majority of a people has the right to do everything, and nevertheless I place the origin of all powers in the will of the majority. Am I in contradiction with myself?"

Welcome students and parents. This site is designed to assist students in Mr. Crown's classes at Lincoln Park High School. This site is a work in progress, so hopefully I will be able to provide you with more useful links in the near future. Currently I have only a few links of interest to parents and students, class notes, and course overviews which all students must familiarize themselves with. Enjoy the site and do not hesitate to e-mail me with suggestions for my site and United States history, government, law, and politics related links.
