Having just learned a little about James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution," now seems like a good time to learn about the United States Constitution itself. Hillsdale College has WONDERFUL resources to learn about the Constitution. They are great for Moms and for our teens and mature tweens who are ready to learn more about our amazing heritage.
Here is the first lecture in the Hillsdale "Introduction to the Constitution" series. In this first lecture, "Dr. Larry Arnn, Hillsdale College President, argues that the American republic’s meaning and proper method of operation is found in two documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He introduces the two main principles of the Declaration–Nature and Equality–and explains how they are key to understanding the arrangements of government found in the Constitution." Here is the link to the Study Guide for Lecture One.
