Ukrainians shouldn't bear arms - discussion of the US Constitution



Joined today by Mike Martucci, an experienced English teacher, program administrator, and sports coach from California, participants of the American Club in Donetsk discussed the U.S. Constitution. 

Having learned about the separation of powers, checks and balances provided by the Constitution, as well as the first 10 ammendments known as the Bill of Rights, Ukrainian youth discussed topical issues related to the U.S. Constitution, including the right to bear arms (2nd Ammendment). Most voiced their opposition to the idea of a similar right for Ukrainian citizens.
