Response
Using Pinterest, I've compiled some videos that break down most of the Learning Objectives as well as providing some examples from real court cases (e.g. "Checks and Balances for Dummies" and "The Constitution, the Articles, and Federalism".) These videos increase understanding and the photos provide visual comparisons of Federalists v. Anti-Federalists + each groups' goals, as well as separations of power and how the branches of government are separated + their effect on society.
