We learned about the constitution. Before 1783 there were 13 colonies that belonged to the King of England. In 1783 England and America became peaceful. The leaders of the colonies and England signed a peace treaty.
The United States needed laws and a government. Leaders met in Philadelphia. The leaders wrote the Constitution together. A constitution is a group of laws.
Later People added amendments to the constitution. This part of the Constitution is called the Bill of Rights. I feel good about the Constitution because the government and the laws help to keep people safe.

Thank-you for sharing your blog with me. It helped me remember how I liked learning about history in school! It was my favorite subject. I feel good about the Constitution too because it protects my rights! I am glad we have the Constitution in the USA. Keep up the good work!

Hello Tyler,
This time in history is so interesting to study. We are so lucky to be living in the United States because it has a strong Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect us. Thank you for sharing about what you are learning in class.
