There are 7 worksheets for 6th grade, each with an answer key. How a Bill Becomes a Law Flowchart, Checks and Balances and The Supreme Court and Judicial Review pair a short text with a chart, a diagram or written questions. Six of the sheets practice D2.Civ.4.6-8 or D2.Civ.5.6-8, on the powers of the branches and the structure of government.
