Simulation of Florida 7th Civics SS.7.CL.1.1 Purpose & Origins of Government

Through a fun and educational simulation, students will demonstrate an understanding of the origins and purposes of government, law, and the American political system by participating in a Constitutional Convention simulation. The simulation will allow students to embody roles inspired by diverse intellectual influences on American political and constitutional traditions, including religion (Hebraic and Christian), republicanism, the Enlightenment, English law (Magna Carta), and colonial-era ideas on government.
