US Founding and the Constitution mind maps

US Founding and the Constitution mind maps

These maps take different routes through the unit. The map on the amendment process separates proposal from ratification, while the Preamble map lays out the jobs of government. The Constitution of the USA covers the legislature, and SCOTUS Court Cases includes judicial review. Other maps look at federalism and the arguments for and against a codified constitution.

Study with a map

Start with The Constitution if you want an overview of government branches. Its branches connect institutions with their roles, giving you a structure to work from before moving to a narrower topic such as amendments.

Follow one branch at a time, then cover it and try to explain the connections in your own words. Return to the map to check what you missed. When you want to test recall or practice terms, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page.
