This is America, Charlie Brown The Birth of the Constitution E02 Video Guide challenges students to digest and analyze this short historical classic. Define key vocabulary such as delegates, legislature, monarchy, national executive and Judiciary. Compare Charlie Brown’s chores during the late 1700s to the students’ chores today. Compare and contrast the different views held by the delegates from larger and smaller states. Discuss and explore guidelines governments should follow to ensure freedom. Summarize the result of the convention and what compromise the delegates agree upon. Finally, research Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite experiment.
