Understanding Our Rights and Responsibilities: The NC Constitution
Imagine having a set of rules at school or home. Like, you must do your homework, and in return, you get to play during recess. Now, let's think bigger! The North Carolina (NC) Constitution is like a big book of rules for our state. It lists the rights - things each person can do, and responsibilities - things each person should do. One important right in the NC Constitution is the right to public education. This means every child in our state can go to school, just like you! And one responsibility it mentions is obeying the laws. So, just like following rules at school or home, we must follow laws to keep everyone safe and happy. Isn't it cool to think that we are all part of making our state a good place to live?
