Teaching the Constitution.
Weatherman, Donald V.
College Teaching, v35 n4 p126-28 Fall 1987
Courses on the Constitution must focus on the principles of government. Those principles and how the understanding of those principles shaped the document are appropriate subjects for consideration. The best sources for an examination of the Constitution are "The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787" and "The Federalist." (MLW)
