A Closer Look at the Constitution
In honor of Constitution Day, Teaching with Primary Sources brings you an interactive look at the Constitution like you have never seen before. You will be able to get up close and personal with this incredible document all from the comforts of your web browser. All that you need is to have Adobe Flash Player installed (and you most likely do!) on your computer. This will allow you to zoom into the document and see with incredible detail. You will also be able to navigate throughout the document and click on "hotspots," links that will take you to additional information.

One Day in the Creation of the Constitution
This section features images of the constitution and looks specifically at one day in the creation of the constitution. Although a final document is very important, we can learn a great deal about people and culture by looking at the creative process and edits such as words that are omitted, substituted and added.
Our main feature is the “Report of the Committee of Style” that was printed and distributed on September 12, 1787. We will take a closer look at the marginal notes by George Washington during debates on that day.
