Study Materials
Constitution Bee participants will be required to have a broad knowledge of facts on the Constitution as well as knowledge on the authors of the Constitution. The Bee will include questions that are:
- Objective — Fact based questions that require little interpretation.
Example Question: "In which amendment is the right to free speech guaranteed?"
- Subjective — Questions designed to test your understanding of constitutional principles.
These include knowing some facts but will also ask "why?"
With this in mind it will be important to study a variety of sources. There are several free study materials available that are listed below but feel free to study other items that you feel will be beneficial.
