Interactive Constitution: Classroom Edition NEW MODULE!
The Fourth Amendment: Search And Seizure
When does the Fourth Amendment allow the government to search you or seize your property? Why did the framers put the amendment in the Bill of Rights?
The National Constitution Center's new lesson plan, videos, and Constitutional Matters of Discussion will help your students answer these questions and more.
The lesson uses essays from the Interactive Constitution, group activities, and scenarios requiring students to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. It is supported by two videos on the amendment that provide historical context and examples of its use.
