The Bill of Rights Institute offers you ways to engage in deeper study of American history and political ideas.
The “Being an American” Essay Contest challenges high school students to reflect on the civic values important to good citizenship. Tell us, in up to 500 words, what civic value(s) you find most important, and how you can live out that civic value(s) in your own life. To find out how to participate, see the contest website at www.beinganamerican.org.
Working in conjunction with Law Related Education in Texas, the Institute is also responsible for the Student Study Guide for the Texas Citizen Bee. We have created the Study Guide as a resource for learning about American History, Government, and Civics using interconnected pages in a new and exciting way. We hope to bring the Constitution Bee to other states in the future.
Lastly, we are in the process of building a Student Video Contest. Please keep in touch with the Institute to learn when the Contest is available.
