ideas above as dishes and provide a description of
each dish that explains the idea’s significance. Be
creative with your names and descriptions!
Pricing
The pricing for each of your dishes should be based
on the idea’s importance to the Constitution.

based on ideas such as rule of law, limited
government, consent of the governed, separation of
powers, and individual rights.
