Separate Branches, Balanced Powers

-----
Multimedia Contest for students in grades 9-12 - Three grade groups - with a cash prize in each grade group.

Topic:
Explain or illustrate the uniquely American design of the three branches of the federal government under Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the U.S. Constitution with an emphasis on the limitations provided by the separation of powers.


I believe this is worthy of all the publicity it can possibly get.
A chance for students to learn more about our Constitution and how the Three Branches of Government should work.
Grade-appropriate entry forms have been distributed to public and private schools. A winning entry could be an asset on a student's application for further education.
