Civics on the Street | Exploring the Constitution with Matt Green

In this episode of Civics on the Street, Professor Matthew Green of the Catholic University of America answers real questions from students about the U.S. Constitution. From why it was written to the compromises made at the Constitutional Convention, the structure of government, the protection of rights, and the role of the Supreme Court.

As part of our Constitution Day Live programming, celebrating “Democracy in Your Backyard”, this video dives into why the Constitution was written, the compromises that made it possible, and how its structure continues to shape our government.
