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.

    2. These Constitution are being addressed to the king and queen of England/Great Britian and the Bill of Rights is being addressed to the U.S.

    3.I have learned that England wanted to be a constitutional monarchy and John Locke inspired the American colonist to form ideas about self-government and the colonist "borrowed" ideas from the Enlightenment and the English bill of rights.

    2. The English sent the bill of rights to the monarchy. The U.S. sent the U.S. Constitution to the British.

  9. 1. Freedom, Safety, We are the people (we are apart of the same country and want equal rights), we want the best for our people, welfare.
    2. I think that the constitution was addressed to England, and the bill of rights was addressed to the christians from the protestants.
    3. I have learned that the English did not give their citizens equal rights, and the people wanted to form a new land where they could do whatever they want and it would be fair. Everyone would be equal. I also learned that the english used different wording then we do, such as "doth" we would say "does", I learned that constitution probably copied some ideas from the bill of rights, and learned how to compare two primary sources with each other.
