Abstract
Classroom simulations are a great way for students to engage subject matter and become more motivated to learn. For this constitution-building simulation, the class will be divided into two equal-membered factions. Each side will be able to discuss their positions on issues as a group pertaining to the government and governance of this new nation within their own group. Once both groups finish building their respective constitutional ideas, they will discuss their concepts with the other group and have meaningful class discussion to find a way to ratify a single constitution. By participating in this simulation, students will be able to: understand and explain the importance of establishing a constitution and government, analyze conflicting perspectives to determine how to make decisions and compromises on issues, communicate effectively in a group setting, develop critical thinking and problem-solving techniques, and practice mindfulness abilities in working with others in finding a common solution.
