Introduction to the Constitution
Start with the basic ideas behind the American Constitution. Learn why government exists, why its power must be limited, how the Founding developed, and how citizens can read the Constitution for themselves.
“A people who mean to be their own Governours, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
James Madison to William T. Barry, August 4, 1822
“A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty.”
