10 Things Every American Should Know By: Michael French

What Does The Constitution Do? The Constitution lays the basic laws and foundations of the country and what it is based on. It describes our Government, how it works, how the people are chosen, and how their powers are to be limited.

What Do We Call The First 10 Amendments To The Constitution? The first 10 Amendments are called The Bill of Rights. They outline what each citizens rights are, and how the Government cannot infringe on those rights.

What Did The Declaration of Independence Do? This document declared that the Government can only rule by consent of the governed. We the people have the power to overthrow or overturn laws we believe to be wrong, or infringing on our natural rights.

One Branch of The Government One branch of the US Government is the Legislative Branch. They make laws and are considered the first branch. The Executive Branch is the second branch and they execute laws, or carry them out. Finally, the Judicial Branch; they judge laws and make sure they don’t infringe on the rights of the people.

Who is a Current US Senator? One of our current United States Senators is Roy Blunt. He is a Senator from Missouri. He used to be a History teacher as well as a clerk and chief election officer.

How Long Does The President Serve In Office? We elect our President to serve 4 years, equal to one term. However, he may be re-elected to serve another 4 years, or second term. We hold another election at the end of 4 years anyway. If the current President does not win, the winner will take over and serve out his 4 year term.

What do we Show Loyalty to When we Say the Pledge? When we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we are pledging our loyalty to the flag, and the United States of America. We say that out of respect of our country, the people that help run our Government, and the men and women that fight for our freedom.

What are 3 of the Original 13 Colonies? One colony from the original 13 is Rhode Island. It was founded by Roger Williams in 1636. Delaware is another colony, founded by Peter Minuit of the New Sweden Company in 1638 Pennsylvania is one, founded by William Penn in 1682.

Why Does The Flag Have 50 Stars and 13 Stripes? The United States flag has 50 stars. Each of them stand for each one of the States in America. The 13 stripes stand for the original 13 colonies, which was the beginning of the United States of America.
