In which John Green teaches you about the United States Constitution. During and after the American Revolutionary War, the government of the new country operated under the Articles of Confederation. While these Articles got the young nation through its war with England, they weren't of much use when it came to running a country. So, the founding fathers decided try their hand at nation-building, and they created the Constitution of the United States, which you may remember as the one that says We The People at the top. John will tell you how the convention came together, some of the compromises that had to be made to pass this thing, and why it's very lucky that the framers installed a somewhat reasonable process for making changes to the thing. You'll learn about Shays' Rebellion, the Federalist Papers, the elite vs rabble dynamic of the houses of congress, and start to find out just what an anti-federalist is.

In which Craig Benzine teaches you about the compromises met in ratifying the U.S. Constitution. The United State’s didn’t always have its current system of government. Actually, this is it’s second attempt. Craig will delve into the failures (and few successes) of the Articles of Confederation, tell you how delegates settled on a two-house system of representation, discuss the issues of slavery and population that have been imbedded into our constitution, and fire up the clone machine to discuss how federalists and anti-federalist opposition provided the U.S. a Bill of Rights. And who knows, maybe all this talk of compromise will even inspire Craig and eagle to find some middle ground.

10 Uncommon Facts About The US Constitution

Here are 10 facts about the Constitution of the United States. We're all experts on celebrating America's independence from the British, but how good are you at knowing stuff about the government charter that came of it? Here are 10 facts about the Constitution of the United States. Number 10. Two of our founding fathers didn't sign it. Thomas Jefferson was off representing the US in France and John Adams was pulling diplomat duty in Great Britain. Number 9. It contains spelling errors. Among them is the misspelling of Pennsylvania. Also, many may be relieved to know that even the brainy guys behind the Constitution had a tough time knowing when not to use the apostrophe in 'its'. Number 8. The US has the shortest constitution. Among the rule writers of the modern world the early Americans were the most brief. They outlined the laws of the land in only 44 hundred words. For comparison, the longest constitution is India's, which in English has over 117 thousand words. Number 7. The US was relatively small when the Constitution was signed. There were only 4 million people in the country, and the largest city, Philadelphia, had a mere 40 thousand residents. Number 6. There was a lot of debate about what to call the president. One suggestion was "His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties." Eventually, the House and Senate settled on President of the United States. Number 5. James Madison wasn't entirely overlooked. If you feel that President Madison, regarded as 'the father of the Constitution', was shafted because he's never been memorialized on money, rest easy. He's on the super-rare 5 thousand dollar bill, as well as the one dollar coin. Number 4. Americans are getting older. At the time the constitution was penned, the median age in the country was 16. Nowadays it's in the mid 30s. Number 3. The scribe who inked the Constitution was only paid $30. Of course, that's over 700 dollars in today's money. It was paid to one Jacob Shallus, a clerk for the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Number 2. The Constitution refers to 'others'. By that, the authors meant those belonging to ethnic minorities. Number 1. Not all of those who signed the Constitution were born in the US. 4 of them came from Ireland. What interesting things do you know about the US constitution?

During the 1970's when this cartoon was aired for the first time to the American people; the American society was a good society that put America first. We taught our children what it is to be an American. Today that no longer is a priority; unlimited immigration without assimilation and anti-American Communists that refuse to follow the U.S. Constitution are destroying what was once a great Nation. And what do we do? Nothing. We are no longer a Nation, we have become a Country filled with aliens from every third world country from across the globe. I don't believe America will survive as the Nation our founding fathers left us; "One Nation under God indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All" , unless we as a "people" WAKE UP!!! THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate. Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate. It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

The Fourteenth Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1868 to empower the federal government -- including particularly federal courts -- to stamp out a culture of lawless tyranny and oppression in the South by enforcing basic civil rights of newly freed blacks and their white supporters. This culture of oppression took many forms, including widespread censorship, the systematic disarmament of freedmen and white unionists, and the wholesale denial of economic liberty. At the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment was the Privileges or Immunities Clause, which the Supreme Court effectively deleted from the Constitution in the 1873 Slaughterhouse Cases. Today, that judicial error continues to take its toll on important freedoms like private property and the right to earn an honest living, which receive virtually no protection from courts despite their obvious importance to ensuring the economic autonomy of the freedmen following the Civil War and all Americans today. http://www.ij.org/cje

This lesson provides a comparison between the U.S. Constitution and the Florida State Constitution. This lesson teaches students about the similarities include: both contain a preamble, articles, create three branches of government, and reflect separation of powers. Students will learn how Florida is on its sixth constitution with its current version established in 1968, and how slavery affected the number of versions. They will also be introduced to the Florida Declaration of Rights and its more extensive list of rights. The lesson looks in-depth look at the Preambles and how both start with those three famous words – “we the people” and their implications of popular sovereignty and consent of the governed. Students will look at the how the Florida Constitution establishes a bicameral legislature with a state Senate and House of Representatives. They will learn how unlike the Federal Executive Branch, the Florida Executive Branch has an elected Cabinet which shares more executive powers. A review of the State of the Union is provided to compare with the state executive’s State of the State speech. Students will look at the Florida Supreme Court with candidates chosen by a commission and who are voted on by the electorate as to whether they will “retain” their positions. Students will learn how the U.S. Constitution is much more vague and short compared to the Florida Constitution which is ten times as long. Finally students will look at the different ways in which amendments are added to the Florida Constitution which include legislative proposals, the Florida Constitutional Commissions meeting every twenty years to suggest amendments and revisions and finally how all constitutional amendments must be ratified by the electorate. A reminder is provided that while these two constitutions complement each other, the Supremacy Clause clarifies what will happen if a conflict arises between the two documents. Like most of the videos on Mr. Raymond’s Civics EOC Academy this video ends with a review “quiz.” Remember that the PowerPoint in this video as well as a variety of lesson plans and activities are available at Teachers Pay Teachers. Mr. Raymond’s Civics E.O.C. Academy was designed for students taking the Florida Civics End-of-Course (EOC) Exam. However, as many states are implementing Civics Exams, these videos will work for all students of Civics, US Government, and US History. Currently students have to pass a civics state exam in order to graduate in Idaho, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, North Dakota, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. These videos look at all of the civics benchmarks that will be tested on most state civics exams. As a civics teacher I have often looked for civics YouTube video clips to show my students. I hope these videos will serve as a supplement to lessons for civics teachers, US history teachers, US government teachers and their students. While they might be a little basic for AP Government students, they could serve as a refresher of basic concepts and content. I have also thought that these videos could help those who are going to take the naturalization test to become US Citizens. I have also been reached by parents whose children are taking Florida Virtual School’s (FLVS) Civics class.

They include: • The original text of the "Virginia Plan," Edmund Randolph's proposal for a national government that included three co-equal branches: "supreme legislative, judiciary and executive"; • A printed copy of the Constitution with George Washington's handwritten annotations; • The final printed copy of the Constitution, which was delivered to the Constitutional Convention September 13, 1787, approved by vote on September 15, and then signed on September 17; and • The state of Pennsylvania's ratification copy of the Constitution — unlike the four-page version of the Constitution on display at the National Archives in Washington, DC, the entire text is on one enormous sheet of parchment so it could be more easily transported.
