Our Constitutional Rights introduces our civil liberties and shows how dramatically they shape our lives.
secure the
blessings
of liberty
and score a
few laughs
along the
way.
Our goal is to make our freedoms more engaging as kids research classroom assignments and adults follow the news of the day.
We use a mash-up of satire, clips from movies and TV shows, grabs from YouTube, blogs - whatever works to breathe life into the freedoms we enjoy.
The content has been reviewed by attorneys and scholars of constitutional law. They encouraged us to: a) go for it and; b) not ask too many lawyers for opinions.
The Constitution is hotly debated. We discuss what's behind the huffing and puffing on certain issues. Included is a comments forum where visitors can express their own opinions. If Supreme Court justices can't always agree, why should the rest of us?
