The Constitution

constitutionCelebrating the United States should not just be done on the 4th July.  On September 17th we recognize Constitution Day.  The Constitution is the most important document in our country.  The Constitution is a list of rules, or guidelines, that protect and help citizens of the United States.   Although rules do not always seem fun, we do need them everywhere; like in schools, neighborhoods, teams, and even families.  Taking part in our government by voting, volunteering, and even expressing your thoughts and opinion on issues can be extremely exciting. Click below to find fun activities, facts, books, and websites that make government fun.
