Bonus Question (Write your ideas):
> *What do you think it would be like to live in the United States if there were no Constitution?*
✔ Sample Student Response (for reference):
If there were no Constitution, there might not be clear rules for how the government works. Different leaders could make their own rules, and people might not have equal rights. There could be confusion, unfair treatment, and no fair way to solve problems. The Constitution helps keep things fair and organized.
