The Constitution in Your Life

Research Task

Evaluate the impact the U.S. Constitution has on the lives of U.S. citizens.

We know through the Declaration of Independence that our nation was founded on the idea that:

• all men are created equal,

• we all have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,

• and, the government is created to protect these rights

The U.S. Constitution establishes how our government is set up to work so it can protect our rights. The Amendments to the Constitution are changes that have been made so our government can better protect our rights, by specifically stating what our rights are.

YOUR TASK: Research the FIRST AMENDMENT to show how the Constitution impacts the lives of citizens.

START HERE: http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/category/speech

Read some of the ways the first amendment is at work in our lives today. Find one topic that you would like to research more than the others.
