Using "Your Rugged Constitution" as our guide we plunge it to the richness and wisdom of our founding documents. These documents are based on the premise that All mankind is created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights. That each individual is made in the image of God. Therefore the protection and order that the constitution sets forth reflects that knowledge. My aim is to impart that wisdom while impowering the student that they are valuable and have a responsibility to get involved!
Homework: 1hr/wk
