The Declaration of Independence is one of the most significant documents in our nation's history. Signed by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, it proudly declared that the 13 North American Colonies were separating from Great Britain. This section is sure to fill your heart with pride and show you the beginnings of this great nation.

The Articles of Confederation, the original agreement between the 13 States, set up a comparatively weak central government. The original powers granted to the central government were limited to the authorities which the 13 Colonies recognized belonged to the British Parliament and King.

Signed on September 17, 1787, the United States Constitution laid the framework for how the nation's government was to be structured. Within the document is the famous "We the People" Preamble as well as Articles I-VII. With your own eyes, you'll have the chance to read about the separation of powers between the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. It is printed in a clear font so you can absorb every word from this sacred national document.

A separate section of the book is dedicated to the United States Bill of Rights, which contains the first ten amendments of the Constitution. These personal freedoms and rights are the backbone of the United States government. These important amendments to the Constitution cover some of the country's most cherished rights, including the abolishment of slavery (13th Amendment), the right to citizenship (14th Amendment), and women's voting rights (19th Amendment).
