Why the Constitution Still Matters in 2025 | Freedom, Students & Families

Description:

In this episode of New England Next Gen, we dive into the U.S. Constitution — not as an old piece of paper, but as the living framework that still protects our freedoms today.

I’ll break down the parts of the Constitution (the Preamble, Articles, and Amendments), explain why it matters for college students in 2025, and share four powerful stories that bring it to life — from “We the People” to the fight for the Bill of Rights.

We’ll also explore how the Constitution impacts parents and families at home, hear wisdom from Aristotle and Thomas Sowell, and finish with an interactive activity you can do today to make the Constitution personal.

👉 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why the Constitution was written and how it’s structured

• How the Bill of Rights almost didn’t exist

• Why free speech and privacy matter on campus

• How the Constitution impacts adults, families, and communities today

• Why Thomas Sowell warned that freedom must be understood to be protected

• A simple activity you can do to connect your daily life to the Constitution

The Constitution isn’t just history. It’s a guide, a safeguard, and a call to responsibility. Students, parents, neighbors, friends — it’s up to we the people to carry it forward.

✨ Don’t just listen. Read it. Talk about it. Pass it on.
