Government: Grades 7-9
Using the Online CatalogThe Structure of Government The Nature of Government The Structure of Government
For 7th-9th grades. The new second edition of this combination
narrative history of the Constitution and Constitutional workbook covers the colonial and
revolutionary influences on the Constitution, the framing of the new government, the
Articles of Confederation, the need for a change in the government, the story of the
Constitutional Convention and the development of the Constitution, including an account of
the dissensions and compromises, the ratification of the Constitution, a line by line
explanation of the Preamble and all seven Articles, the story of the Bill of Rights, the
history and line by line explanation of all 27 amendments to the Constitution, the
principles and nature of the Constitution, the outline and complete text of the
Constitution, the signers of the Constitution, and recommended materials for further
study. We studied this text in 7th grade.
For 8th grade and up. Dr. Carson, secondary and university
professor, independent researcher, and author of more than 15 books and 500 published
articles, gives an account of the general structure of the government as established by
the Constitution, and of the state governments which preceded or came after it and their
constitutions. Moreover, Dr. Carson details the ancient and modern foundations of our
government, scriptural and secular, on which our state and federal constitutions rested.
The Founders of the United States built on a great foundation, and that story is told in
these pages. Also included is the story of how the Constitution of 1787 became venerated
and accepted as Higher Law in the 19th century. The text ends with a sobering description
of the massive departures from the Constitution in the 20th century, and its out of
control growth on the path toward becoming a Leviathan. We have had the most success
getting the considerable wisdom out of this book in this stage when I have gone through
the book with my children and actively taught from it. (We studied this text in 8th
grade.) Basic American Government may be ordered directly from the publisher by
