Principle Civics
Learn civics through the news
Free · In‑App Purchases
Civics for adults who missed it in school. Turn daily news into interactive lessons. Understand how power works and where you fit in.
You already read the news. Now understand who's making those decisions and why. Every headline about government hides a power structure: Who made that call? Who funded them? Who benefits? Who loses? Who can override it?
How It Works
Read short lessons based on current news. Answer questions about who made the decision, who they're connected to, and what they get out of it. Track what you're learning as you connect the dots across federal agencies, state legislatures, and local boards.
What You Get
Daily lessons based on current news. Interactive questions that test whether you understand who benefits and who loses. Progress tracking as you learn how federal agencies, state governments, and local boards actually operate.
No ads. No partisan talking points. Just the connections between decisions and the people making them.
Federal, state, or local—you choose what you want to understand. Current events or constitutional structure—the app shows you how it works in practice.
Why This Matters
Most Americans never learned how government works. Schools teach that Congress writes laws but not which committee chair controls whether a bill gets a vote or which lobbyist drafted the amendment.
You might read about pharmaceutical lobbying in one article, campaign donations in another, and an FDA decision in a third—but Principle connects those dots into a pattern you can recognize every time.
Principle connects the dots. Every story becomes a chance to understand who's making decisions, who put them there, and what they get out of it.
Start Today
Download Principle and turn your news reading into understanding. Stop taking headlines at face value. Start seeing who's making decisions, who they're connected to, and why.
