Unit 3:  Louisiana’s Government

Civics
This unit focuses on Louisiana governmental practices that are rooted in the state’s rich cultural heritage. The influences of former French, Spanish, and British rule have left an imprint on Louisiana’s contemporary governmental customs and traditions. The retention of parishes as political subdivisions and the customs of Napoleonic Law are evidence of Louisiana’s diverse past and embedded legacies. The cadre of Louisiana state constitutions has reflected these cultural and political influences. Louisiana politics has contributed a dynamic venue in which to study the evolution of American government.
