Articles of the Constitution (The Constitution EXPLAINED)

Reading the Constitution can be intimidating. This playlist of 9 videos breaks it down Article by Article to help students understand what’s inside the document and what it established.

- Article I (The People’s Branch and The Dos and Don’ts of Congress)

- Article II (Who Chooses the President? and Faithfully Execute)

- Article III (The Least Dangerous Branch)

- Article IV (Full Faith and Credit)

- Article V (The Secret Sauce)

- Article VI (The Supreme Law of the Land)

- Article VII (Ratification)

This playlist is a part of Constitution EXPLAINED, a series of 35 short videos that explain the text, history, and relevance of the United States Constitution, Bill of Rights, and additional amendments in everyday language.

Developed in partnership with the Center for Civic Education, and with the invaluable contributions of constitutional scholar Linda R. Monk, JD.
