À propos de cet audio
We explore why Constitution Day matters by comparing the U.S. Constitution to the rulebook of a sports team, showing how both prevent chaos and establish fair play. On September 17, 1787, the founders created not just a document but a revolutionary system where power comes from the people rather than kings or rulers.
• The Constitution serves as America's rulebook, similar to how sports teams need rules to function
• Signed on September 17, 1787, the Constitution established how our new country would operate
• Revolutionary concept that power comes from "We the People" instead of kings
• The U.S. Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in use today (230+ years)
• The document can be amended when needed, as demonstrated by the Bill of Rights
• Many schools celebrate by having students read the preamble aloud
• Constitution Day is especially meaningful for new citizens taking their oath of citizenship
• The Constitution represents a promise that our government is built by the people and for the people
