A Constitution Comes to Life (The Constitution EXPLAINED)

How did the Constitution come to life? In this playlist of 4 videos, students explore foundational constitutional principles, the 1787 convention that started it all, and the race to ratify the document into law.

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.
