MyImpact Challenge Lesson 2: Defining Citizenship
Lesson Two – Defining Citizenship
What does citizenship really mean? America’s founders thought that a free society could only stand if citizens answered the challenge to be “virtuous.”

Objectives:
- Define citizenship and its connection to civic virtue.
- Explain why the Founders viewed civic virtue as necessary among citizens.
