Process

        You are now ready to begin your preparation for your job as a United States Senator!  Below, you will find a number of websites that will help you answer each set of questions.  Once you and your committee have compiled the relevant information, you must work together to organize it into a final PowerPoint Presentation that the speaker will present. 

1. Before you begin your important legislative work, you will need to know the general set-up of the 

    government.  How has the Constitution structured the U.S. government?  What are the functions of each 

    branch?  How will you work with the other two branches to govern the country?

2. During your first months in office- 1791- you will hear much debate about the "Bill of Rights."  What is the "Bill

    of Rights" ?  Will you campaign in favor of it or against it and why?

3. Think about possible changes that may need to be made in the future (post-1791), especially in regards to

    slavery, women and the vote.  What are they?  How can the government go about making these changes in

    the Constitution?
