Three Branches of Government
"Checks and Balances"
​
Here is a nice fun video that explains the three branches of government.
From the Flocabulary website, "This song explains the three branches of the US government and the system of checks and balances. Laws are written in the Legislative branch, which contains the Senate and the House of Representatives. The senate is composed of two senators from each state. Membership in the House of Representatives is determined by population. Laws are carried out by the Executive branch, which is composed of the president, vice president and the cabinet. The president has the unique position of commander in chief and gives the final word on military matters. He also has the power to veto bills and appoint cabinet members and judges. The Judicial branch consists of the courts, including the nine justices composing the highest court: the Supreme Court."

Three Branches of Government Review
Another cool video about the three branches of government. Good for a review.
BILL OF RIGHTS SONG
An informative video about the Bill of Rights. This is an example of a social studies project done by students for students. Although these student did not go to Maynard Jackson H.S. the quality of the video is an excellent example of what young adults are capable of. From their video: "This is a Social Studies project about the Bill of Rights , by Maddy , Taylor , Destiny , and Bailey . Music to Eenie Meenie by Justin Bieber."
Note: Each picture is a different video so watch all four.
Another classic video that tells you exactly what you need to develope a Bill into a Law.
The video is over 30 years old but it still does a great job of teaching the basics of the Preamble to the Constitution.
