Designed to introduce law and citizenship into U.S. history and government courses, We the People helps students understand democratic principles and how these principles relate to their daily lives. Students explore such issues as handgun control, civil law, police-community relations, and juvenile justice.
Each lesson includes discussion questions, motivational strategies, and interactive role plays. The use of outside resource persons is encouraged to provide realism and positive role modes.
