Transcript of The United States Constitution For Kids Constitution Day September 16.
The Constitution was written in 1787 by a group of men referred to as our founding fathers. These men met because they were unhappy with the way the country was going. They fixed it be creating the Constitution.
The Constitution gives us rights. Rights are things that all people have just because they are alive. The Bill of Rights is a part of the Constitution. It gives us rights like freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Today, the Constitution protects us and keeps us safe. We should be grateful to the founding fathers and celebrate each year that we have these freedoms and rights.

Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you seeby the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailedat the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watchedwere so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare,the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the nightthat our flag was still there
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wa-ave
O'er the land of the freeand the home of the brave?
This Land is Your Land
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highwayI saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valleyThis land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was soundingThis land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me This land was made for you and me!
You’re a Grand Ole Flag
You're a grand old flag,You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.You're the emblem of
The land I love.The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.Should auld acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're a grand old flag,You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.You're the emblem of
The land I love.The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.Should auld acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
Yankee DoodleYankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a ponyStuck a feather in his hatAnd called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it upYankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the stepAnd with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to campAlong with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boysAs thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle, keep it upYankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the stepAnd with the girls be handy.
There was Captain WashingtonUpon a slapping stallion
A-giving orders to his menI guess there was a million.
Yankee Doodle, keep it upYankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the stepAnd with the girls be handy.
