American Students Compete For Constitution Championship

Several hundred high school students are in Washington, testing their knowledge of the United States Constitution in the final round of a nationwide competition. The competition, called "We the People," refers to the opening line of the U.S. Constitution. It involves simulated congressional hearings where teams of students serve as expert witnesses. The students are questioned on their knowledge of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and are scored by judges.

Stupid AMericans. All they know is 50 cent, Ray willaim Jonson lady GAga, Justin Bieber, Tiger wood, Medicare, Unemployment, take a day off, dating, drugs, fornication and prostitution, Bill of Rights, Financial aid, buy a house and a car, going to the movie, looooooooooool. The stupidest generation in the history. it's funny to me how some Americans dont even know who their fathers were and they expect them selves to know somethings about the TRUTH. God bless me =)

This is what my boy does! It is awesome. He will be a senior next year and plans to go into law and politics when he graduates. This summer he will be going to Nationals for debate. This is a really cool thing for our youth to become a part of.
