Homeschool Freebie of the Day

Our Magnificent Possession (MP3 audio / 15 minutes) – Okay… continuing this week's theme on The Constitution, we have a great history/civics lesson for your kids today. What would life in our United States be like today if each of our 50 states was completely free and independent… as was outlined in our original Articles of Confederation? 

It certainly wouldn't be anything like you or I are familiar with. In fact, life would be INCREDIBLY different than what we know today! In today's audio story, courtesy of our sister site HomeschoolRadioShows.com, you'll hear this fascinating for yourself and will see why our forefathers SCRAPPED our original form of government and instead created "our magnificent possession", the Constitution of the United States! Your kids will long remember this fascinating “lesson”!

It is the supreme law of the United States, and provides the framework for the organization of the United States Government. It is the most foundational document in American History, upon which has been built the greatest nation on earth.

So – do YOUR kids know what is in it…what it's all about… and what it means to them?
