Weekly History and Geography - 27

Research and Writing Skills - Compare Primary Sources

As you learned in Chapter 10, primary sources are "snapshots" of history.  They are created by people who were there at the time of the event.  On p. 472-473 in your Social Studies textbook, you will need to read the What, Why, and How about two primary sources; the English Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.  Then, answer the "Think and Apply" questions 1-3 on p. 473 on the blog.

    1.Key words that I found were union/unity and tranquility.
    2.I think that they're addressed to the government.
    3.I've learned that even before the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were written we still all had one thing on our minds,freedom, and the things that come with freedom. Our rights and that were not someones slave.
