I have two teen-aged boys. Since they have been able to read, the Fourth of July started with us reading the Declaration of Indepence out loud. Each year, the questions afterwards get more interesting. Of course, the discussion period doesn't last too long because then they get to go shoot off fireworks - as many as they can amass with their savings.
You should try the Federalist Papers sometime, you could spend a lifetime on those (as you could with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution).
