Educators will be introduced to two interactive learning tools that allow users to build deep understandings of U.S. constitutional rights through primary source analysis. With Writing Rights, users can compare historical texts from colonial charters to the Declaration of Independence, to the records of the First United States Congress to see how the amendments in the Bill of Rights came into being. With Rights Around the World, users can compare rights written into the U.S. Constitution with the ways those same rights are—and are not—written into other nation’s constitutions.
