Kid Constitution

The Kid Constitution was a collaborative effort among more than 55 children, aged three to seventeen, across 20 states and Washington DC. Each child transcribed and interpreted a segment of this critical work.  

 

Across the political spectrum, we all claim to defend the Constitution. But few have actually read it, let alone understand it. The Kid Constitution is a commitment to understanding our founding document, the blueprint for our country, by explaining it to our kids.

​

Each time WAAM marches from Philadelphia to DC, we carry the Kid Constitution. In the Preamble, our forefathers promise: “Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Our children have inherited this promise. Come, study the Constitution with our kids. There’s much to learn — from the text itself and from our kids’ interpretations. This is their future that we’re debating. Our children are watching and now they are speaking; it's time that we listened.
