You are a recent immigrant who has moved to the United States to attend a U.S. university.

You are a recent immigrant who has moved to the United States to attend a U.S. university. Your family has never been to the United States, and you are excited to tell them all about it, in particular the fundamentals of the U.S. government you are learning about in one of your courses.
Compose a 3-page letter to your family in which you outline the fundamentals of the U.S. government. Be sure to include the following:
Briefly explain the Constitution and its purpose with relevant and factual information.
Briefly explain 2 American ideals (e.g., democracy, liberty, equality, justice, freedom, or opportunity). Your explanation should include a definition of the ideals and your understanding of what those ideals mean to the average U.S. citizen.
Locate the current event (from within the last 6 months) that you selected in the Searching for Current Events About American Ideals activity in Week 4. Explain how it serves as an example of 1 of the 2 ideals you selected.
Explain how a constitutional liberty that has personally benefited or impacted you as a student or a citizen in the United States. Provide 2 or more specific and relevant examples.
For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. Title VII also applies to private and public colleges and universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations. So if you chose this one, in your letter you would identify this constitutional liberty and how it applies to you specifically, and you would provide 2 or more specific and relevant examples.
Cite your current event and any other sources you used following the Strayer Writing Standards format.
