What questions would you ask your students when assessing their knowledge of the constitution and declaration?

Answer 1

How old are they?

That makes a huge difference.

Try this for the constitution.

You be the newly appointed dictator of the United States who has the power to instantly enact any law without having to filter it through that tedious and inefficient "legislative process" that congress has to live with. You do, however have to abide by all other constitutional constraints.

Your class has the authority to block your new laws. Give them three minutes to discuss and either accept or block your new law.

Throw them some curve balls.

As for the declaration, I'd have them write their own versions in small commitees, being careful to air only historical grievences and reasons.

Or not.

You could just give them a citizenship test.

Answer 2

What is the proper name of the highest judicial body ?? Do you know that one? How about the proper name of the highest judicial office???
