Constitution Scavenger Hunt

To complete this constitution scavenger hunt teams will need to dig into their memories or first head down to their local library or internet cafe to determine the items they need to find and bring back.

To be sure the hunt is fair you may even want to either permit or ban use of portable web searching devices unless every team has access to the same technology.

For instance...

Do you know what is contained in the 17th Amendment of the Constitution?

If you were required to find and bring back a picture of the representative of your state referred to in the 17th Amendment would you know who to find a picture of? If not a quick internet search or visit to the library would tell you that you needed a picture of your local senator.

So, call up your friends, meet, divide into teams, give each team a copy of the list below, set a time limit, and let the hunt begin.
