Ask the Constitution

Take a look inside

While the U.S. Constitution is the ultimate basis of our rights as American citizens, we don't always understand the relationship between this charter of freedom and the laws that derive from it. This set asks provocative questions that draw attention to the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the limitations that have been set on these rights. Particular attention is paid to the arguments over how this foundational document should be interpreted and how its interpretation has evolved over time. Show your middle schoolers how the Constitution relates to the most hotly contested issues of our day and inspire them to add their own voices to the debate.
