After you fully understand all the definition words, you will write one letter using half the defintion words (11). To write this you will imagine you are a child in the 1700s, writing to a family member who doesn't live in the US. Make sure you tell your family what has been going on in the US so they understand how things are changing. Also, give a lot of detail and explain the words you defined correctly. 

Now that you have defined and understand your words, and written your letter, you will easily be able to anser our driving question: How is the United States Constitution organized to balance the conflicting interests in a democracy?
