This 45-minute program geared toward grades 7-12 will be presented by the National Archives in Washington, DC.
How does the Constitution check and balance power? During this program students will analyze primary sources to examine the powers of the Federal Government and discover how the Constitution created a stronger central government compared to the Articles of Confederation. They will also discover how the Constitution checks and balances power between the three branches of government and between the Federal Government and state governments.
