HS US Constitution (1/2 Credit) – 1 Semester Course, 12 Weeks

This course is an overview of the United States Constitution with an emphasis on God’s providential care over the process resulting in the final document. It is based on the book by Norma Swanson and Barbara Aud entitled “A Constitution is Born”, with the subtitle: A brief history of the Constitution of the United States of America, tracing the hand of God. It is apparent, in light of our present-day culture, that we as a nation need to be reminded of and reeducated on the background and content of this significant document in our country’s history.
The course is designed to meet for ten sessions, with appropriate lesson plans and class handout materials. During the course, the class sessions will cover (1) the history and background leading to the creation of the Constitution, (2) the impact of religious and Christian beliefs on the process, (3) the issues confronted and resolved by the framers, (4) an in depth review of the contents of the Constitution, and (5) a review of the culture and customs of that day.

Materials Needed for this Course:

  • I have 14 copies of the text that I am prepared to lend to the students for the course, but will have to  reclaim them at the end of the course.
  • School Supplies: See the COACH School Supply list
Cost covers the full semester.
