Ms. Nelson's science classes have been using old textbooks, broken lab supplies, and cannot do
any experiments because the school cannot afford
the materials. The students are tested on the
information in the outdated books (that are older
than the students are!) and tested on the skills they
should be practicing in the lab. Ms. Nelson tries to
get new books and supplies every year, but there
isn't enough money in the school budget to pay for
them. What can be done to solve this problem?

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
