Citizens Unite! A Helpful Guide to Being a Better Citizen

Francis and Paul run through several scenarios to demonstrate how to be an actively engaged citizen in our representative democracy. They speak with the ghost of James Madison to learn about U.S. history including its founding, drafting the constitution, how equal rights have progressed through our history by way of constitutional amendments.

Francis and Paul are taught how to empathize and understand the perspectives of other citizens who might hold differing views, and how to develop and clearly state their own positions.
