Answer the following questions thoroughly and thoughtfully.
- Are you satisfied with the provisions in the Constitution? Do you think they reflect the will of the majority. Explain your answer using ideas and examples from the role play and the Constitution.
- If you believe that the provisions do not reflect the majority, how did they get approved?
- In what ways is the Constitution democratic? In other words, in what ways does it give power to the people and/or deny power to the people?
- How did the creation of the Constitution and the Constitutional Convention itself relate to Critical Race Theory (CRT)? Before you answer, review CRT including race as a social construct/idea and the definition of racism.
- In the preamble, the founding fathers say the Constitution was designed to create a “more perfect union.” Do you believe that this was accomplished? What specific values does “the highest law of the land” preserve and protect?
