In 1789, James Madison fought to include a bill of rights in the U.S. Constitution. Ten of his twelve proposed amendments were ratified by the states in 1791. Known as the Bill of Rights, these ten amendments protect Americans’ individual liberties.
We the People at the Periodic Presidents would like to introduce the newest member of our full-size (24″ x 36″) poster lineup. The Periodic Table of the Constitution is a one-stop shop for all essential (and fun) info from our founding document.
The Blueprint for a Nation
Our blueprint design includes the following major pieces:
The Preamble
The 7 Articles (with key original text)
The 27 Amendments
The 7 guiding principles
10 significant Supreme Court cases
And other fun historical info
The Story
The story of the Constitution involves more than the articles and amendments. We’ve included historical side notes that highlight other events surrounding our Constitution, such as:
The Articles of Confederation
The Federalist Papers
The Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan & Connecticut Compromise
The 3/5 Compromise
The Preamble in plain English
Presidential trivia
If you already have our Amendments poster, this is the perfect companion piece. Both posters, when displayed together, tell the story of our nation’s founding document.
The PTOTC is a great reference for the classroom – for both teachers and students. You can buy our new PTOTC here.
Thanks and enjoy!
