Happy Constitution Day!
2008-09-18 00:55:00 Today is the anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution. It officially became a holiday back in 2004 "the act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day" Not exactly a replacement for Civics class but its a step in the right direction. If you'd like to refresh you memory of its exact contents a downloadable version is available here.

Constitution Day - September 17th (pt 2)
2007-09-17 03:12:00 So what is today a celebration of? The USS Constitution or the U.S. Constitution? If you picked the USS Constitution, you’d be sadly mistaken. Although it is a great ship and I’ve had the privilege of being on board for a retirement ceremony, today is a celebration of the U.S. Constitution. Today Is Constitution Day. YEAH! 220 years ...
In honor of the US Constitution
2007-09-14 07:01:00 The study, The Coming Crisis in Citizenship by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, revealed what many of us already knew: American college students are learning frightfully little about America's heritage. In fact, in some institutions, seniors know less than incoming freshman about our heritage. Without an understanding of the rights and responsibilities which go along with our liberty, it is difficult to defend it. As George W. Curtis said in a speech delivered in 1877,While good men sit at home, not knowing that there is anything to be done, nor caring to know; cultivating a feeling that politics are tiresome and dirty, and politicians vulgar bullies and bravoes; half persuaded that a republic is the contemptible rule of a mob, and secretly longing for a splendid an vigorous despotism--then remember it is not a government mastered by ignorance, it is a government betrayed by intelligence; it is not the victory of the slums, it is the surrender of the schools; it is not that b...

Constitution Day Lesson Plan at National Archives Website
2007-03-23 17:32:00 Website: http://www.archives.gov/educati-on/lessons/constitution-worksho-p/index.htmlGrade: ACost: FreeIn the news we hear a lot about constitutional rights and privileges yet unfortunately many Americans do not truly understand the Constitution and far to few people have actually read it. According to the Associated Press In a contest between Americans' knowledge of "The Simpsons" and what they know about the First Amendment, Bart and Homer win hands down. About 1 in 4 Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half of Americans can name at least two members of the fictional cartoon family, according to a survey.This lesson plan gives us a good start on changing future generation?s knowledge of the Constitution. It contains everything you need, including downloadable forms of all of the primary source documents. The down side is that i...
