What are two Cabinet-level positions? What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives
now? There were 13 original states. Name three. What is the economic system in the United States?

knowledge we all need to safeguard our home and family. Public and non-profit
organizations will gather inside the IDS Crystal Court to provide you with the tools and
