The Constitution

Harley Miller Home Teacher's Guide Mission 1 Mission 2 Mission 3 Resources Glossary	This curriculum web is designed for high school seniors who are taking American Government. The site considers the Founding Fathers’ genius in: Setting up a skeleton framework for the government while leaving room for adaptations over time to flesh out the specifics, Dividing the responsibilities and powers of the government into 3 separate branches of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, in order to prevent any one person or group from getting too much power, Dividing the responsibilities and powers of the government into 2 separate levels, national and state, that govern the same territory, Guaranteeing that the government would not abuse the rights of citizens by establishing the Bill of Rights and the other amendments to the Constitution.
