成为美国: How We Gained and Secured Freedom and Self-Government

成为美国: How We Gained and Secured Freedom and Self Government is an eighteen-part lecture series delivered and live-streamed at the Richard Nixon Presidential 图书馆 and Museum. Hosted by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and co-sponsored by the Center for Civics Education at Concordia University Irvine, the series covers the 12月laration of Independence, 宪法, the Bill of Rights and remaining seventeen Amendments.


From British America to the United States of America

America’s story began more than 400 years ago with firm support from the King of England. Less than two centuries later, appeals to ancient English rights were actually used against English rule and a new country was born – free and independent. America’s story is your story - it is your inheritance.


A More Perfect Union: The Constitution of the United States

The Constitution is more than a symbol – it is “the Supreme Law of the Land!” It puts “We the People” in charge. 这是我们! Are you prepared to play your part?


The Bill of Rights and Guarantees of Liberty

超过11个,500 amendments to 宪法 have been proposed, but only twenty-seven have been ratified. One was even rescinded! But they protect your freedoms of speech and religion, 陪审团审判, voting rights and even how we elect the President. If they changed 宪法, you need to know why.
