Constitution Cadence
By Scott Praska
We just know what we’ve been told.
Our Constitution is over 200 years old.
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a document, to keep people free.
Sound off – 1787
Sound off – Signed
Sound off 1,2,3, 4 – Constitution
Executive, is the branch
that includes the President.
He hears from his Cabinet as their advice is lent
Then he decides what money is spent!
Sound off – Executive
Sound off – President
Sound off 1,2,3, 4 – Constitution
What do the House of Representatives do
Along with one hundered Senators, too?
They make up new laws for me and you
The legislative branch helps the president too!
Sound off – Legislative
Sound off – Making Laws
Sound off 1,2,3, 4 – Constitution
Nine judges on the Supreme Court's bench
The President picks ‘em, but the senate votes 'em in
They decide if the laws of our land are still fair
In the Judicial branch, they watch the laws with care.
Sound off – Judicial
Sound off – Supreme Court
Sound off 1,2,3, 4 – Constitution
The Legislative Branch is good at making the laws
The Judicial branch makes sure the laws have no flaws
The Executive Branch is who enforces it all because
Balanced, but separate powers are good for us all
Sound off – Checks and Balances
Sound off – Government
Sound off 1,2,3, 4 – Constitution
I Know an Important Document
I know an important document,
A very important document,
A very important document,
It's called the Declaration of Independence,
It was written by Thomas Jefferson,
Explaining to King George,
Why we had unalienable rights to be free,
To pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
I know an important document,
A very important document,
A very important document,
It's called the Bill of Rights.
They were added to our U.S. Constitution in 1791,
To ensure that our individual rights are protected.
So let us tell you some:
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to a fair trial.
I know an important document,
A very important document,
A very important document,
It's called the 13th Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
First there was the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863,
That freed the slaves in the Confederate States.
Then came the 13th Amendment in 1865,
That ended slavery in all states.

Constitution Bugaloo
By Sharon Cecchi
I’m an American and here to say
I am proud of our country, the Revolutionaries made
Through a document known as the Constitution
The supreme law was made, a nation had begun.
Cooperation, delegation
Compromise, too
Doing the Constitution BUGALOO.
The delegates in Pennsylvania, ratified the plan
But “We the People”, took the stand!
To make our own laws, define our government, too.
We came together, we’re unified and true.
Cooperation, delegation
Compromise, too
Doing the Constitution BUGALOO
In 1787, the Convention honored the command
To create the longest living document known to man,
With fortitude, unity, they sealed they’re fate
They helped to make the best nation, the United States.
Cooperation, delegation
Compromise, too
Doing the Constitution BUGALOO
