The lessons cover the discussion regarding incorporation of a Bill of Rights at the Constitutional Convention, a role play of the Federalist and Antifederalist debates, and a Readers’ Theatre dramatizing the House debates. The unit is packed with documents and concludes with several later cases involving the application of principles embraced by the Bill of Rights.
