The 2016 election is just a few weeks away. Once elected, each winning candidate will swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. But how many of them have read it or know and understand what is in it? How many U.S. citizens have read and know what is in the founding documents of our country? Tens of thousands of people fought in the American Revolution in the late 1700s to declare the United States an independent nation and that we were a free people with certain natural and inalienable rights.

If you don’t remember what you were taught in your civics class about the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, you can catch up on things pretty quickly with the power of search engines and the internet. You won’t know when your rights are being taken away from you if you don’t understand what your rights are as a U.S. citizen to begin with.
