Abstract
Learning - and teaching - about the Constitution is not easy, but it is important. It was written so long ago by some powerful men that many of us cannot easily relate to. But they conceived of a living, breathing document whose intentions would guide future generations. Today we will begin to explore why it is important to strive to make the Constitution seem real and applicable to our lives. The Constitution provides guidelines for how government should work. And it provides for the basic individual rights and freedoms we enjoy in the United States.
