Know Your Constitution Classes in Utah County

For those in the Utah County, Utah area, a Know Your Constitution Class is being presented for the next 5 more weeks. This is a 6 week series which actually started last week. The first class covered the Founding Fathers sources for the Constitution. Some of the philosophers that the Founders used in their guiding principles are John Locke, William Blackstone, and Frederic Bastiat. Their references also included the Old Testament, particularly, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus.

The first three Articles of the Constitution were covered briefly as the underlying paradigms to support the principles of the way the Branches of Government behave were uncovered and discussed.

The coming weeks will focus on in depth study of the Articles more, continuing with a review of the IV through to the last. The Bill of Rights will be examined as well as other amendments and their effect upon the working of the Constitution and our American lifestyle.
