| Education is one of the critical services
that COOL provides to participants in order to develop a more well rounded
understanding of the documents critical to the founding of this nation.
Currently, COOL offers a variety of different fee-based courses and is
constantly seeking out new material for presentation. |

| A More Perfect Union was developed by the
National Center for Constitutional Studies and is based upon a nationally
broadcast motion picture made to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Constitution.
Perfect Union is a stand alone course that chronicles the Founder's
struggle to draft a constitution that would firmly unite thirteen disparate
states into one republic, and captures the debates, emotions and issues
that confronted those men who gathered in Philadelphia to hammer out a
new framework of government in 1787.
Perfect Union serves as both an excellent introductory course
to constitutional classes as well as a general refresher for those who
have already participated in other constitution-oriented education courses.

| The Institute On The Constitution (IOTC)
was developed by a constitutional attorney and features constitutional
expert John Eidsmoe, and reintroduces attendees to the religious, philosophical
and legal concepts that inspired the creation of the United States Constitution.
Utilizing a combination video/open discussion format, participants will
learn about those fundamental principles that inspired our Founding Fathers.
The IOTC consists of twelve 30 minute lectures divided into two parts,
Foundations
For Liberty and Framework Of Government, and can be presented
in either a 2 hour, eight week format or in a 4 hour, six week format
Institute On The Constituion 1: Foundations For Liberty
retraces the discovery and settlement of America, with a concentrated study
of those concepts and principles of religion and law that directly influenced
Washington, Franklin, and Madison and their efforts to forge the thirteen
independent states into one united country:
Session One:
Lecture 1 - A Biblical View of History, Law & Government
Session Two:
Lecture 2 - The Discovery, Settlement & Evangelism of America
Session Three:
Lecture 3 - The Religious Beliefs of the Founding Fathers
Lecture 4 - The Philosophical Worldview of the Founding Fathers
Session Four:
Lecture 5 – From Independence to the Constitution |
Institute On The Constitution 2: Framework Of Government
is a concentrated study in the United States Constitution itself, reviewing
each Article and Amendment, and concludes with strategies that can be used
to promote greater understanding of our nation's Supreme Law of the Land:
Session One:
Lecture 6 - The Preamble & Article I
Session Two:
Lecture 7 - Articles II & III
Lecture 8 - Articles IV, V, VI & VII
Session Three:
Lecture 9 - Bill of Rights: Amendment I
Lecture 10 - Amendment II thru Amendment XXVII
Session Four:
Lecture 11 - Crisis of the Constitution
Lecture 12 - Reclaiming the Constitution |
With a strong emphasis on the influence of the Judeo-Christian tradition
on our Founding Fathers, the IOTC is ideal for churches and youth groups. |

| The Birth Of Freedom was developed by the
Acton Institute and outlines the unique principle of individual freedom,
it's roots and how it has become a pillar of our United States of America,
and how our Founding Fathers were hoping that the concept would spread.
Why would anyone believe that all men were created equal and that all
should be free? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth?
For millions around the world who have never tasted liberty, and for those
of us who have but have forgotten, the question cries for an answer. How
was freedom born?
