Constitution 101 - Basic Principles of Freedom

After many years of careful study, deliberation, debate, and compromise by those whom we respectfully esteem as our "founding fathers", there came forth the fruit we now know as the Constitution of the United States of America.  Most Americans profess support and love for this document, but do they even know what is says?  If they do know what it says, do they understand what it means?  This course is designed to give citizens a basic understanding of the principles contained in our founding documents.  We will discover and discuss these principles as we study the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution together. 

Materials: A Guide for Learning and Teaching the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution by Joseph Andrews.  Optional: The Making of America by Cleon Skousen

Meeting: Probably weekly for 8 weeks.
