The Bill of Rights

SAT Score Range

10 sessions

About

Welcome to the Bill of Rights! 📜We'll be learning about the first 10 Amendments to the US Constitution, as well as an extra amendment that greatly increased their power (the 14th Amendment).
The very first session will be an introduction to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and 14th Amendment. We'll also cover some skills law students use to understand court cases.📓
After that, each session will cover an amendment or two, go over the historical issues the Founders were responding to, understand modern application and limitations, and go over zero to three relevant Supreme Court cases. 🏛️(Sometimes an amendment is so self-explanatory or so dependent on other amendments it rarely gets seen in court.)

Please be ready to work with other students to analyze cases. We'll also play a fun quiz game at the end of each session to make sure you get everything down!
