The U.S Constitution: Guiding Principles

Students take a deep dive into six of the U.S. Constitution's guiding principles with this engaging social studies worksheet! Learners will read through six fundamental questions about how the government should work, along with how each guiding principle addresses each question. Students will then illustrate their understanding by matching the Constitution’s guiding principles with the statement that best expresses its meaning and impact on the U.S. governing system. Students will also demonstrate critical thinking skills and apply their learning to current events as they respond to two short essay questions.
