American Life Before the US Constitution – Educating Kids

It’s Constitution Week! Unmasked History Magazine is celebrating Constitution Day highlighting the most important document of our history – The U.S. Constitution. Check out this video to teach your kids about how American life was like before our US Constitution was created and ratified.

American life before the U.S. Constitution was very different than today. With our country was still under the rule of King George’s madness and our 13 colonies or states did not call themselves American. Each state saw and treated themselves like their own little country and there was no strong central government.
