Educational 资源 for Learners of All Ages

More than at any other time in 历史, modern technology has made access to education and learning opportunities available to everyone with a minimum amount of effort or expense. These include numerous sources focusing on American government, its founding principles, documents and its 历史.

The Founders of our country were keenly aware of the fragility of democracy, representative government and freedom itself. They constantly called for an informed citizenry as a safeguard against tyranny. 詹姆斯·麦迪逊, “Father of the Constitution,” correctly noted that “knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

To promote civics literacy, as well as civility in our public discourse, the Center for Civics Education shares links to resources for civics learning provided by an array of educational and non-profit organizations.

The National Constitution Center

The National Constitution Center is the nation’s leading platform for constitutional education and debate. Chartered by the United States Congress in 1988, its mission is “to disseminate information about the U. S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis in order to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the American people.”

Center’s Interactive Constitution provides a deep understanding of each Article and Amendment by citing its language and sharing essays on the “Common Interpretation” and “Matters of Debate” written by scholars of opposing views and interpretations.

The Center’s “Constitution 101” course provides learners of all ages with a basic understanding of the Constitution’s text, 历史, 结构和判例法.
