The U.S. Constitution is the foundation of American democracy, but what does it really mean for your daily life? This course takes a plain-language look at the Constitution and Bill of Rights, exploring how freedoms like speech, religion, and due process apply today. We’ll examine landmark amendments and Supreme Court cases, discuss how rights have expanded or been challenged over time, and connect these ideas to current issues. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your rights as a citizen—and how they shape our civic life.
