User talk:Ronald Smith/Constitution Day 2018

Presentation and Discussion

Did you know that the Constitution is Version 2.0 of our founding document and it replaced an earlier version that had too many bugs?

Or that the Bill of Rights wasn't even in the Constitution when it was ratified?

How often does the Constitution get amended?

Why does the Supreme Court get to decide what the provisions of the Constitution mean?

Did you know that it took more than 200 years to ratify the last amendment?
