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”!

I am really enjoying all the constitution resources. Thank you so much. I think the theme weeks are fun but I also enjoy the variety of unthemed weeks. Maybe you could alternate themed weeks and unthemed weeks.
