The people and events in the history of American government tell a tale that brings the basics of our government to life. Who exactly were the Founding Fathers, and why are they still such hot topics of debate? Why did they want to not only break away from England, but form a new and very different form of government? Just exactly what was the "Great Compromise" and what difference did it make? And, by the way, wait until you learn about the Electoral College and the real reason for its creation.
Yes, there are many fascinating things to learn in addition to the basics of our Constitution, the structure of our government, and the contribution of so many people – everyday people with lives and families just like yours and mine. Given this precious gift of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" as American citizens, this next generation needs to learn the importance of what it means to be an American and what part the government plays in their daily lives, and how they can make a difference.
Come on along as we learn the story of our government – visiting the halls of lawmakers and justice, and much more. Take time to read about some of the people that have changed the course of our country by voicing their concerns and ideas, as citizens of this great country. From voting to obeying laws, from governments during biblical times to governments today – join us in our investigation!
