Five Town CSD Adult & Community Education

How well do you know our constitution? Our political leaders are always referring to one part or another, but do you know what it means for you, the average citizen? This class will be part instruction, part discussion group and part investigation into the truth about how our original government was intended to operate by our founding fathers (and mothers) and what changes have taken place over the last 240 years. We will read and study the original founding documents; the Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation and The Constitution, including The Bill of Rights. What are your unalienable rights? If you do not know your rights, you effectively have none. As Thomas Jefferson said, "Freedom is not free; the price you must pay for freedom is eternal vigilance." This vigilance requires “We the People” to keep a watchful eye on our government and be aware when our unalienable rights are being violated. It is becoming more and more uncertain that we are being governed by the constitution given to us by our founding fathers.
