* Constitutional Convention Project
    + Background: Democracy demands reflection. That’s a core element of self-government. And a civics education built on questions strengthens that fundamental democratic capacity.
   + Overarching Goal:The deepest truth is that you can’t have a democracy unless people want one. And right now, 18-26 year olds don’t particularly want a democracy. This means that we are failing at one of our greatest responsibilities: generational succession. Civic education is about refurbishing and regifting an inheritance and creating a "more perfect union" can make connections to what changed are necessary to creat a "new founding".   
   + 28th Amendment Options from Foundations Text
   + Street Law (Constitutional Law Chapter
   + Applied Text What Will you Do
   + Questions
       1. In what ways and to what degree were liberty and equality present in 1619, 1620, 1776, 1789? Where were they absent? How did the relation between them change over time?
       2. How do you evaluate when changes are significant enough to count as a refounding?
       3. How do laws and social structures change?
       4. How can the Constitution be changed formally and informally? (And how can your state constitution or other charter be changed?)
       5. What political and economic ideas have contributed to these changes?
