Preamble to our Constitution...Can You Rock It?

History is coming alive for us in 4th grade as we study the Constitution, the 3 Branches of Government, and the Balance of Power.  The video above will help you memorize the Preamble that begins "We the people..."

Remember when we said that the Judicial Branch is made up of 9 Chief Justices to the Supreme Court that are appointed for life?  Well, one of the most loved justices died this weekend, so you will hear a lot in the news about who will replace him.

 
Be sure to study what the phrases mean...
establish justice
 
insure domestic tranquility
 
provide for the common defense
 
promote the general welfare
 
secure the blessings to ourselves and our posterity!
