The Constitution of the United States, at once a symbol of national unity and that broad, popular consensus that makes effective government possible. It is more than a document giving and limiting powers - it is the supreme law of the land. Join Mr. Lafayette, Street & Practical law instructor at Leominster High School in Leominster, Massachusetts as he discusses the role this document continues to play as the foundation of American Jurisprudence. Its relevancy remains central to defining not only our Nation, but the rights that each citizen of our great Republic enjoys.
