Now what is a meme, you may wonder? Well, a "meme" is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme. A meme is usually a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users. The cartoon faces known as "Ragefaces" are anonymously created by users on websites such as Reddit. In the case of History In A Nutshell's "Birth Of The Constitution" episode, the following memes are used to illustrate educational points related to the video.
