Understanding the United States Constitution

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students discuss the United States Preamble and Constitution. In this United States government lesson, students discuss the differences between rights and privileges and construct a chart that lists some of our rights as citizens. Students read the Preamble and create a Constitution for their school. Each student sets up a video tape presentation on their school Constitution to play on the school's closed-circuit TV.
