The Being an American Essay Contest is a chance for US high school students in grades 9-12 to compete for a scholarship of $1,000 (with 2nd and 3rd prizes of $500 and $250) by completing an essay of 1,000 words or less.
The topic to be addressed is as follows: "How does the Constitution establish and maintain a culture of liberty?" (I feel like that should be "How did . . .," but you probably won't win anything with that approach.)
Your entry should also analyze and discuss:
- "How one of the Founding principles established in the Constitution helps preserve liberty
- Why at least one Founder, as evidenced in a primary source document, believed your chosen principle was a safeguard to liberty
- Why your principle continues to be important today
- How you personally help preserve a culture that insures the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in America"
