Our social studies focus the past several weeks has been on the formation of our nation, specifically after the Revolutionary War. We learned that the Articles of Confederation was not the best solution because this document did not provide power to the government. Men with great wisdom and fortitude decided to write a more comprehensive document instead. For four very sultry summer months James Madison, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and many other delegates worked to produce The Constitution.

Next we learned how the Constitution lays out the three branches of government. We designed these trees to illustrate the branches and how they are divided.
