Getting your player ready...
A team from Denver’s East High School took first place this week in the nationwide in Washington, D.C.
The competition started April 26 and ended Monday. Students “testified” in a mock congressional hearing and answered judges’ questions about their knowledge of the Constitution, such as how the Founding Fathers limited majority rule and how the Supreme Court arrived at the idea of a right to privacy.
Teams had to win at the state level to advance, though some states, including Colorado, sent a second team that qualified for a wild-card spot.
The competition is sponsored by the Center for Civic Education.
