Elections in American Memory
""The American system of elections grew out of intense debate and discussion in the Constitutional Convention. The debate was finally resolved when the Constitution was ratified in 1788. In its last major act following ratification, the Continental Congress scheduled the first federal elections." This online Library of Congress collection reviews the history of voting in America, with links to source documents such as political posters and recorded debates."

D.C Pages: Virtual Tour of the National Mall
"Take a virtual 360 degree spin around ten monuments and museums of the National Mall, courtesy of D.C. Pages and the free Zoom viewer plug-in from MGI. For tourists, each monument includes hours of operation and a phone number. For cyber-travelers, the Zoom viewer let you control the vantage point (zoom in, zoom out, spin, and stop) of each picture. Another worthwhile section of the D.C. Pages is History, which traces the city’s roots to the Spanish explorers of the sixteenth century. You’ll find it by returning to the home page, and selecting History from the directory links."

But don’t stop here. Roam around the rest of the Campaign 2000 site for a searchable archive of political video and audio, lesson plans and live C-SPAN broadcasts."

BrainPOP: U.S. Presidential Elections
"The BrainPOP movies are a perennial Surfnetkids favorite for elementary and middle-school kids. This one introduces the concepts of democracy, the two-party system, conventions, campaigning, voting and the electoral college. It even presents an overview of the 2000 tie-breaking Florida recount. After the movie, test your knowledge by taking the quiz, and then click on over to the Electoral College movie to learn more."

Ben’s Guide to the U.S. Government: Supreme Court
"The great thing about Ben’s Guide is that it is actually four separate grade-appropriate guides for K-12 students . This link will take you to the Supreme Court section for high-school students. To reach the other grade levels, select from the colored flag icons in the top right-hand corner. You’ll find the Supreme Court pages (on all grade levels except K-2) by drilling down through Branches of Government to Judicial Branch."
