Preamble, Checks and Balances

Last week, the 7th graders learned more about the ideas in the Constitution.  They learned the words and meaning of the Preamble.  In the pictures below, they are looking at different functions of government and deciding which of the promises made in the preamble the function is trying to keep.  Then, they learned about how the Enlightenment idea of Checks and Balances is applied to the American government.  This week, they are learning all about Congress.  They will have their first quiz next Tuesday.  It will cover Article I of the Constitution.

Questions for your 7th grader:
  • Sing the preamble for me! Here is School House Rock to help you out:   
  • According to the Constitution, what is the most powerful branch of government?
