The+Living+Constitution+Group+6


 * Welcome to our Wikipage! What you will find here is our interpretation of what the constitution means to us. All 5 of us have individually split all 16 articles/amendments to help each other understand each amendment or article in our own way. We show it here below by using all sorts of web 2.0 tools such as Video Thread, Glogster and Powerpoint. To further our understanding of the article, we based it off examples from current news happening across the United States. We use these current events to portray why the Constitution is still a living document today. Take a look at how our interpretations! **

I think the significance of having a constitution and having a bill of rights is to have protection of our rights and liberties. As I show above in my news article, the Muslim communities in Southern California were not being treated fairly of their rights. They have a right to express and have a religious value and the government should not interfere like they did. Once we have our rights established, we won’t be taken over by the government because we create a set of rules that are set and done with. No one can mess with our rights. I feel like the constitution is very much alive today because even though the government sometimes abuses our rights that is why there are court cases to solve it and that’s when the people bring up the constitution. ======

Conclusions:

We learned a lot from doing this project. We never knew that the constitution was still prevalent to this day. There are plenty of articles and current events that relate to the Constitution making the document made so long ago still very alive. This surprised us and we learned a lot about the Constitution itself. For our grade we believe we deserve an A because we did everything on the rubric and we used many different methods of Web 2.0 tools. We used Voice thread, Glogster and powerpoint to discuss the constitution and how it is still living today.
