It would be better if you could find a way to teach it those in elected office in DC

I know many freepers think Apple=Evil, but, I love my copy of the US constitution and the Federalist Papers on my iphone.

PS - what’s your function?

Pub and Bill have been running a bookclub discussion of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. It may be a little deep for your kids, but interesting reading for you.

There are links to all the previous threads in Pub's ping.

Dr. William Bennett has a website where you can go to get educational resources for your own kids, to home school or whatever your need. I don’t have a link, but just google it and be sure to use the words U.S. Constitution in your search.

You might want to check http://constitutingamerica.org/
Great site for studying the Constitution, Federalist Papers, etc.

[I cannot think of a name]

Which version of the Constitution?

- As written?

- As interpreted by a sane person?

- As interpreted by a liberal?

- As enforced by Zero?

A roll of toilet paper would make an excellent teaching tool to explain Zero's interpretation.

One other poster has suggested you add a discussion/curriculum area about the Federalist Papers. I agree.

The perfect troika is a study of:

The Declaration of Independence (followed by)
The U.S. Constitution (followed by)
The Federalist Papers (used to ‘sell’ the new federal republican government to states that just fought a war to not have a king)

I recommend the following for the Federalist Papers discussion — http://www.amazon.com/Federalist-Papers-Modern-Language-Political/dp/0936783214

That book is a great read for you as well.

Check out www.wallbuilders.com for material from David Barton and Rick Green, who have done tremendous work re-educating young and old about our nation’s founding. They also host a free, daily 30 minute radio show which is available via internet. Check out youtube for videos of their speeches. Netflix even has one of David’s videos available, I believe it’s called “America’s Godly Heritage.”

Hillsdale College recently held seminars in conjunction with Constitution Day and has made the webcasts available for a period of time, at the following link http://www.avwebcasting.com/hillsdale/register.php

Some of the material will be too advanced for the kids but you might find it helpful. Hillsdale has also provided free electronic versions of the course material they use to teach their students the Constitution and its historical frame, you can access them at this link http://www.hillsdale.edu/KirbyCenter/resources/constitutionreader/default.asp
