2 We live in a democracy where everybody should know the information about the constitution. Few people read and understand what effect it has on daily life in the U.S. http://www.ldsinfobase.net/liberty/BRM_knowyourconst.html For example, the first amendment says you have the **right for freedom of speech.**

3 Also, kids need to realize that the people under the constitution are running the country. We need to know why certain things happen and how they will affect our country. For example, if you stole something, because of the eighth amendment **punishments have to be fair, and not cruel.** http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=7474
