    We the People, a national program based on a curriculum designed to promote a deeper understanding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, is funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education. Wisconsin's program is supported by the State Bar's Law-related Education Committee, the Wisconsin Council for Social Studies, and the Wisconsin Law Foundation.

    Teams complete a semester instructional program about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. At the competition, students answer questions posed by panels comprising lawyers, legislators, and educational professionals acting as U.S. congressional representatives.
