I've developed a 3D model of the US Constitution. The linked video is the first attempt to use the model in the defense of Ordered Liberty.

Intriguing concept. I am going to look at it later when I am not tired, and get back to you. I already like the concept, and applaud the purpose.

Very impressive; I’m going to show that to my home schooled kids today since we’re studying government.

I think if you are trying to stimulate kids to think about the structure of government you should work on the audio portion. Your presentation has a monotone male which does not engage the listener. (I almost thought it was computer generated.)
Maybe change the speaker to represent the different branches. Alternate male and female voices and add inflection to instill passion. Passion should be instilled in celebrating the ideas of our forefathers! They created an amazing concept of governance!
Possibly music would help here too. in describing the monarchy some British royal songs and then American Patriotic chords as you consider the branches of the republic.
I felt the presentation lacked passion and that I was listening to an engineer or a chemist describe philosophy.
If you wish to energize the viewer you need to consider words other than, “tensor” to make the connection to, “We the people” How will a kid even know that word?
As an educated adult I learned nothing and from the viewpoint of someone being exposed for the first time, I felt nothing. Our “Great experiment” deserves an exaltation!
Please know that I appreciated the thought you put into this but you asked for feedback and mine would be to tell the story from your heart and soul rather than your left brain.

Different learning styles, different teaching styles. So much negativity regarding peripheral, easily remedied matters and so little acknowledgment of an elegant new visualization tool. Your written presentation leaves much to be desired as well.
Teacher, teach thyself.

good comments with the exception of the using of heart and soul and feelings... i understand the desire to make it passionate, but i think it would work and should work the way the founders intended, with a logical approach.
my ownly criticism would be to add a way that would show that the people were in charge rather than being on the bottom tier... sort of a lateral scale with a balance between the will of the people and the oppressive yolk of government...
all in all a good model, simplifying by spreading it out a little or minimizing the number of “feeders” would help to see the workings.
great job.

The OP was looking for feedback, not praise. I think we all appreciate the effort, but it could be made better.
To: LiveFreeOrDieNH
Fascinating and informative!
Thank you for the hard work.

In my exposure, constructive criticism is best delivered with enough praise to counterbalance any sting that might be experienced from having done so. A full fledged critique, bluntly stated, runs the risk of disheartening the recipient, and I don’t see that as warranted. So, blunt critique, meet blunt rejoinder.
To: RegulatorCountry
I knew my comment would be viewed as negative though it was not meant to deter. I feel passionately about what our founders gave us and Venn diagrams, even 3D ones, don't capture the courage, insight and grandeur of our Republic.
I applaud LiveFreeorDieNH for what he is trying to present and do encourage him to continue to look to share his talent and understanding in ways that will inspire others.
Best to you, FRiend

OK, sorry to have come on strong myself then. I’m in a similar field, and know well how easily weeks or months of effort can be criticized without acknowledging the time, effort and thought that went into the good of it, so maybe I’m overly protective.
