In this unit we will learn about the ideas and history that led up to the writing of the United States Constitution.  Our review of history will focus in on the documents that reflected these ideas and shaped the writing of the Constitution.  We will discuss how these ideas are just as important today as they were over 200 years ago.  We will also learn about the organization of the Constitution and how the Founding Fathers made a government that could be changed to stand the test of time.
