Expanding Rights (The Constitution EXPLAINED)
Everyone changes and grows, and so does the Constitution. In the early years of our nation’s history, many groups were excluded from basic rights like voting. Amendments were made to change that. In this playlist of 9 videos, students explore how rights were expanded for Americans of different races, genders, ages, and income levels.
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.
