It is not intended that the Civics topics stated above shall be treated
exhaustively; the mere fact of the existence of the organizations that
correspond to the colonial types is the extent of the correlation at
this point. (Reasons for this restriction will be stated later.) The
important thing is that the pupil be taught not to associate these
institutions exclusively with the localities in which they originated,
but to regard them as the typical forms of organization of those
different elements of our population which they carried, or rather
under which they marched, westward.

It will be noticed in (1) and (2) that the comparisons are between
particular facts of our history and some of the more general features
of our National government. The details of present conditions may not
be understood by students who have not studied Civics separately.
(3) CONSTITUTIONAL PERIOD.
Under the topics that follow, we find the history of our present
National government, seen in the formation of the Constitution and the
workings of the government thus formed. The natural correlation, then,
is between the event (either in the Constitutional Convention or in our
later history) and that part of the Constitution which thus came about,
or which forms the basis for the action of the government described.
