Permission is granted to reproduce materials for free distribution to students and teachers. INTRODUCTION During the week of July 22-26, 1991, 40 elementary and secondary teachers gathered at Ham line University School of Law to explore the provisions of the Bill of Rights that pro- tect individuals accused of crimes. The institute, "Rights of the Accused: CriminalProtection Under the Bill of RightsPast, Present, and Future" provided wrticipants with substantive workshops on the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, with sample curricula designed to teach about these areas, and with the opportunity to research topics of their choice. This institute was funded by grants from the Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution. Using information gathered through their research and through the substantive sessions, the teachers developed lessons for elementary and secondary students. The lessons, collected in this publication, have been designed to introduce students to the rights of the accused and provide a scholarly study of these rights, exploring historical development as well:as current application. The lessons in this publication have been organized according to their topics. Lessons that introduce the Bill of Rights and lessons that explore all criminal rights amendments have been grouped and presented first.All other lessons have been placed in the following catego- ries: Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, and Miscellaneous, which includes juvenile law and legal ethics. Within the categories, the lessons are presented alpha- betically by lesson title. Although every lesson indicates the appropriate grade level, teachers are encouraged to adapt the lessons to their grade levelneeds. The teachers who developed these lessons deserve a hearty note of thanks from us: thanks for working within our very tight time-frame, thanks for responding to our requests so promptly, thanks for committing personal time and energy to the project, and thanks for sharing the creative work products with.teachers throughout the country. One last note of thanks must recognize the long hours spent by Debra Berghoff in the production of this book. With the assistance of Kitty Atkins, she worked nights typing the lessons into the computer and designing them so that they are user friendly and pleasant to look at. Without her efforts, this publication would not exist. Dear good people, join us in celebrating the December 15, 1991 Bicentennial of the Bill of Rights by teaching your students the foundations of our freedoms.

  • Education Clauses in State Constitutions Across the United States∗
    Education Clauses in State Constitutions Across the United States∗ Scott Dallman Anusha Nath January 8, 2020 Executive Summary This article documents the variation in strength of education clauses in state constitu- tions across the United States. The U.S. Constitution is silent on the subject of education, but every state constitution includes language that mandates the establishment of a public education system. Some state constitutions include clauses that only stipulate that the state provide public education, while other states have taken more significant measures to ensure the provision of a high-quality public education system. Florida’s constitutional education clause is currently the strongest in the country – it recognizes education as a fundamen- tal value, requires the state to provide high-quality education, and makes the provision of education a paramount duty of the state. Minnesota can learn from the experience of other states. Most states have amended the education clause of their state constitutions over time to reflect the changing preferences of their citizens. Between 1990 and 2018, there were 312 proposed amendments on ballots across the country, and 193 passed. These amendments spanned various issues. Policymakers and voters in each state adopted the changes they deemed necessary for their education system. Minnesota has not amended its constitutional education clause since it was first established in 1857. Constitutional language matters. We use Florida and Louisiana as case studies to illus- trate that constitutional amendments can be drivers of change. Institutional changes to the education system that citizens of Florida and Louisiana helped create ultimately led to im- proved outcomes for their children.

  • Inside the Minnesota Senate
    Inside the Minnesota Senate Frequently Asked Questions This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Secretary of the Senate as a response to the many questions from Senate staff and from the public regarding internal operations of the Minnesota Senate. We hope that it will be a valuable source of information for those who wish to have a better understanding of how the laws of Minnesota are made. Your suggestions for making this booklet more useful and complete are welcome. Cal R. Ludeman Secretary of the Senate Updated February 2019 This document can be made available in alternative formats. To make a request, please call (voice) 651-296-0504 or toll free 1-888-234-1112. 1 1. What is the state Legislature and what is its purpose? There are three branches of state government: the executive, the judicial and the legislative. In Minnesota, the legislative branch consists of two bodies with members elected by the citizens of the state. These two bodies are called the Senate and the House of Representatives. Upon election, each Senator and Representative must take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of this state, and to discharge faithfully the duties of the office to the best of the member’s judgment and ability. These duties include the consideration and passage of laws that affect all of us. Among other things, laws passed by the Legislature provide for education, protect our individual freedoms, regulate commerce, provide for the welfare of those in need, establish and maintain our system of highways, and attempt to create a system of taxation that is fair and equitable.

MINNESOTA LAW REVIEW VOL. V MAY, 1921 No. 6 THE CONSTITUTION OF MINNESOTA' By WILLIAM ANDERSON* 1. THE MOVEMENT FOR STATEHOOD THE organized territory of Minnesota existed from 1849 to 1858. Included within its areas was not only the present state of Minnesota but also those portions of the present states of North and South Dakota which lie east of the Missouri and White Earth rivers. In this extensive region, double the area of the present state, there were at the beginning of the territorial period a scant five thousand people of the white race. The population increased slowly at the outset. The lands west of the Mississippi were not opened to settlement until after the conclusion of the Indian treaties of 1851 and 1852. In 1854, with the opening of the first railroad from Chicago to the Mississippi, the inrush began, thousands of settlers coming each year from New Eng- land, New York, and the states north of the Ohio. By 1857 there were 150,000 people in the territory.
