Constitution Week

I'm speaking to the combined government classes this morning at Genoa Central High School as part of Constitution Week. Federal law requires that all high schools, colleges and universities that receive federal funds hold an educational event about the Constitution this week. I'll be using some material from the Annenberg Foundation Trust, and we'll have a conversation about the "one person, one vote" doctrine, influences on the Bill of Rights, the importance of an independent judiciary, a few landmark Supreme Court decisions, and the document's relevance to policy at the state and local government levels.
