This lesson explains why the U.S. Constitution still matters by examining how it structures the federal government, protects individual rights, and adapts to new challenges. Students learn about the Preamble, the three branches of government, separation of powers, checks and balances, the Bill of Rights, and the amendment process. The lesson also compares originalism with the living Constitution approach, showing how different interpretations affect modern issues like digital privacy and student rights.
