Here's What Real Teachers Are Saying...
"I really liked the way that the documents guided students toward the complex differences between different leaders from different geographic areas. In a word, I love the complexity." ~ Michael S., Teacher from Iowa

So What's Inside The Plainest Demands of Justice? ([link removed])
Using the Declaration of Independence as a foundation, each of the six units of this resource trace natural rights from the colonial era through present-day - asking students to consider how the efforts of law and policy-makers, the courts, and “We the People” – have worked to ensure a society faithful to Founding principles of liberty, equality, and justice. A culminating assessment and project are also included.

Each primary source also contains a brief introduction to provide historical context, vocabulary words, and comprehension and analysis questions along with plenty of note-taking space.
