You are a recent immigrant who has moved to the United States to attend college. Your
family has never been to the United States, and you are excited to tell them all about it, in
particular the fundamentals of the U.S. government you are learning about in one of your
courses.InstructionsCompose a 3-page letter to your family in which you outline the
fundamentals of the U.S. government. Be sure to do the following:Briefly explain the
purpose of the Constitution. Use relevant and factual information in your
explanation.Briefly explain two American ideals (e.g., democracy, liberty, equality, justice,
freedom, or opportunity).Your explanation should include a definition of each ideal and
your understanding of what those ideals mean to the average U.S. citizen.Using what you
submitted in your Week 4 Activity, explain how the current event article you chose serves
as an example of one of the ideals selected.Explain how a constitutional liberty has
personally benefited or impacted you as a student or a citizen in the United States.Provide
two or more specific and relevant examples.For example: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on
the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. Title VII also applies to private and
public colleges and universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations. So if you
chose this one, in your letter you would identify this constitutional liberty and how it
applies to you specifically, and you would provide 2 or more specific and relevant examples.
