A while ago there was a woman, Lee Ann Potter, in our school who told us about the American constitution and how the American politics works. I was going to write about this earlier, but I forgot to do it. I liked her presentation because it varied a lot in what she said and made us do. She engaged the students and pointed out the different ways the constitution affects us. In that way she made it interesting.
For example she showed us the preamble in art, a man called Mike Wilkin made a piece of art by car licenses from all the American states. It is the picture below and I find this peace of art pretty funny.
In 1976 the television channel thought about teaching the children something during the commercial breaks. They made funny cartoons which taught the children stuff like the preamble.
An important question she raised was: Why do we need a government? The people needs to have rules to follow and know that there will be consequences for their actions. With a government it is easier to have control over the people and to have some kind of a structure of the people.
