An online course offers users in-depth and easy to follow/understand analysis of the Constitution. The online course is currently not available for students, but over resources including extensive primary source documents, and an interactive version of James Madison's Notes on the Convention can certainly be used in the classroom. ConText offers users a looking glass into Madison's notes with running commentary of leading scholars and experts on the Constitution. The application is searchable by keyword, and even links to current events and philosophical background of main ideas in the notes.
