Build Background

• Why do you think the United States Constitution requires that the president ha to be at least thirty-five years old? Who decided this?

• What do you already know about the U.S. Constitution? What is it? Who created it? When was it created? What is its function?

Background Information• We the People of the United

States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Building Background

• The Preamble comes before the main body of the Constitution, and it explains why the Constitution was created.

• The adoption of the Constitution was achieved only after fierce debates in many states. This was because many Americans were wary of a central government with a lot of power, because they had recently achieved independence from a monarch who had had too much power over them.

To show possession, a writer must add an apostrophe plus s to a singular noun or to a plural noun that does not end in s; for example Child’s ball or children’s ball.

Grammar Apostrophes in Possessive Nouns

Add only an apostrophe after a plural noun that ends in s; for example, boys’ bicycles.
