Understanding the Constitution Class
American Principles of Government

In 1787 the founders of our great nation met in convention in Philadelphia. The final product of their work, the United States Constitution, became the single greatest model for government in the history of the world. These 220 years represent the longest time in recorded history that a free nation has existed. What foundational principles did they focus on to ensure liberty for future generations?

This enlightening lecture series covers the principles of government that the founders embraced and built into the Constitution. Students will learn how these principles are just as relevant today as they were 230 years ago - not only for our national government, but for our state and local governments as well!
