We the People
About the Program
"We the People... The Citizen and the Constitution" is the nation's most comprehensive educational program, educating individuals of all ages on the history and principles of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Participants meet weekly to review, discuss, and prepare to become expert witnesses, testifying before a panel of judges in small groups during a "Simulated Congressional Hearing." Students are evaluated on their understanding of content, constitutional application, reasoning, evidence, responsiveness, and participation.
