This is wonderful, Jenna! What a lesson in how democracy can work when there is a good process, full transparency, the involvement of a wider public, and mutual respect among those legislating. This is a great chance for your students to learn something positive about politics for once. Congratulations on your great lesson design!

Indeed. I didn't realise that US governance could be so slick and transparent. A world away from the muddle of Westminster ☹️
