The Interactive Consitution provides users with an interpretation of each provision of the U.S. Constitution. The site offers statements by Constitutional scholars on the history, meaning, and differing views of the various sections and clauses. Teachers may want to develop a guided worksheet to help students gain a deeper understanding of the Consitution. Article II covers the president's roles and responsibilities and specific topics such as the electoral college, treaty and appointments power, commander in chief clause, and impeachments. A valuable tool for incorporating primary documents into the curriculum while still providing support to understand challenging content.
