“Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom. Aristotle speaks plainly to this purpose, saying, 'that the institution of youth should be accommodated to that form of government under which they live; forasmuch as it makes exceedingly for the preservation of the present government, whatsoever it be.”
― John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America: Akashic U.S. Presidents Series
The United States Constitution is the most effective and copied national political charter in western civilization.
In order to better understand the United States Constitution and its role in our society and community,, we will be considering the Six Big Ideas in the Constitution. Each day we will be making a Facebook and website post regarding one of these ideas:
1) Limited Government
2) Republicanism
3) Checks & Balances
4) Federalism
5) Separation of Powers
6) Popular Sovereignty
