Abstract

Is this series about the Constitution and Justice for you? **Well, are you a person within the U.S. who hopes for more justice in our society? If so, then it is important for you to learn more about the Constitution. The preamble of our Constitution of the United States reads, “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice…and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." As the story of Frederick Douglass shows, learning can bring enlightenment and freedom and more justice. During these times, more people are opening their eyes, hearts, and minds, to see, feel and think on how we can be better as a country. Learning about our constitution is critical for the delivery of undelivered constitutional promises. So, this series is for you.
