Learning about the Constitution

I borrowed a DVD from the library called 'Video Resources on the Constitution.' It is put out by The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and can be watched online. I especially recommend the clip on Judicial Interpretation of the Constitution with Justices Breyer and Scalia. There are some other incredible resources for learning about American history, the Constitution, and the government and media today.

Here's a list of informational sites together with commentary on biases and reliability of the material.
