EU Constitution: Twenty Years After Rejection

Imagine a club of countries in Europe that wanted to become more like one big country.

They wrote a 'constitution,' like a rulebook, to make this happen.

But, when people in France and the Netherlands voted on whether to accept this new rulebook, they said no!

This stopped the club from becoming one big country in the way they planned.

Even though the rulebook was rejected, the countries still work together.

Now, most people in the club think it helps their own countries, and they've found other ways to cooperate when they need to.
