MSNBC anchor and business correspondent for NBC News Ali Velshi joins Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, for this dynamic and exciting discussion on the foundations of American democracy.

In this civics lesson, students examine the form of government established by the U.S. Constitution, and its key ideas—including natural rights, the rule of law, and popular sovereignty. By examining the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, students learn how these two documents set the foundation for American democracy and make possible the freedom that is the birthright of all Americans.

Ali Velshi has covered a wide range of breaking news events and global affairs throughout his career, including U.S. presidential elections, ISIL and the Syrian refugee crisis, the Iran nuclear deal from Tehran, the tensions between Russia and NATO from Eastern Europe and the High Arctic, the debt crisis in Greece, the funeral of Nelson Mandela, and the global financial crisis.
