THIS COURSE TAKES YOU BACK IN TIME !

YOU ARE NOW IN APRIL 1775

The first shot heard around the world is fired at Lexington Green starting the War for our Independence from the British tyrannical monarchy.

This means freedom from England!

It also means going to WAR with one of the world’s most powerful military to get it! (This Declaration dated July 4, 1776 is also the foundation for America’s new Constitution that is yet to be written.)

After 6 years of war, it is now October 19,1781. We have won the War for Independence, BUT The British monarchy will not recognize it and grant us our freedom. In November, 1783 the British Parliament grants us our freedom making us 13 Sovern Independent Nations. Riding your horse home, you arrive in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is now May 1787.

You are now peeking in the window of Constitution Hall during the meeting with fifty-six delegates. They are debating and arguing about what to say and how to write the words that will set the course for the entire future of this country. For the next five months these fifty-six delegates worked on authoring a very special document. It’s hot. It’s secretive. It’s dangerous. The remaining British military presence is still a threat.

In this course you will be an observer to history as you gain insights into how the Christian faith influenced and guided the Founding Fathers. You’ll discover why their wisdom remains as pertinent today as it was in 1787. Although the Constitution was ratified in September of 1787, it was not a finished document yet.

Back to your time machine – !!!! POOOF – … you are now in December 1789. There is a new meeting of those same fifty-six delegates. They are meeting again in the same hall to write the first ten amendments (the first 10 changes) to this new Constitution using Article 5 of the Constitution. “We The People” are now making Amendments to the Constitution. Finally, in May of 1789 the “Bill Of Rights” which is the first 10 amendments, are added to the Constitution. These are the laws protecting “We The People” from the Government.

Now! You can be that observer at “Constitution Hall” peeking through the video window opened by this “CONSTITUTION ALIVE” class.
