Bill of Rights, Constitution...

[UnschoolnMa]

Dd is interested in reading about the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Can anyone recommend websites? I have a few, but just curious. Is there a think quest site about them? TIA

Here's what I have These are government sites, so probably pretty bland but informative. The online exhibit is pretty cool

There is a children's book that is illustrated with the declaration of independence...I have it for my classroom.

The name of the book is in one of these threads...I started them...

Hope your little guy enjoys this learning experience. I got my B.A. in political science focusing on constitutional law.

This is funny. I did a google search for DoI info while waiting for MDC to load. I've got this page open in another window waiting until I finish reading MDC to peruse it. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/

I found the coolest little booklets about our government in Tom Daschle's office -- I'd recommend a trip to your local representative and load up on the cool stuff. Plus it's nice to make that contact should your Dd have follow up questions
