GRADES
5
- 10 Constitution
is part of the
Decisions, Decisions 5.0
series.
Bring students face to face with the dilemmas, compromises, and struggles of writing
the U.S.Constitution. Students live in a fictional confederation that is plagued with many of the same problems America faced in the 1780s - huge debts, border
threats, a currency crisis, and a weak national government.
Students weigh the pros and cons of the Articles of confederation and decide where they want power to reside - within states or the national government. They also
come to understand the importance of the separation and balance of power.
Topics covered:  | Balance of Power |  | Separation of Power |  | Ratification |  | Great Compromise |
