Do you ever wonder what the Constitution really says or how certain laws came about? Join Kevin Mark Smith, Esq. for Constitution and the Bill of Rights to find out. During the month of January, Kevin will be discussing the seventh through tenth amendments to the United States Constitution. Students in high school (and adults) can gain an understanding of the purpose of each amendment and how it came to be. Independent exploration assignments are provided at the end of each lesson so students can gain some insight into the particular amendment and its implications in today’s society and in their own lives. Continue with the Civics lessons by joining Deborah Burton for Mock Trial, a course for students in high school and middle school. The most recent lessons discuss the history of environmental law and look at various environmental cases before taking on the mock trial portion of the course.
