Don't leave home without the ability to easily access these essential documents.

• The Declaration of Independence identifies some of our most basic unalienable rights, such as the right to Life, Liberty, and property. (Unalienable means: impossible to take away or give up.)
• The Constitution of the United States is the framework for how our government officials on the national level are to carry out their duties. It lists specific responsibilities for each of the 3 branches of government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.
• The Bill of Rights is a series of 10 amendments to the United States Constitution that were added after the U.S. Constitution was ratified by the states. These first 10 amendments, collectively known as the Bill of Rights, are mostly clarifying the restrictions that were already placed on the National government in the US Constitution. Among other protected rights, the Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." (Amendment 1). It also expressly limits the powers of the national government to only those powers granted to it in the Constitution of the United States.
• Amendments 11 - 27 were added periodically from 1795 to 1992 and are official changes made to the U.S. Constitution. Some of these changes include the abolishment of slavery and officially declaring the right of women to vote.
• This booklet also contains a useful index to the United States Constitution which makes it easy to search for specific words in the document.

These short, but powerful documents are binding on our elected officials and will empower you to protect your rights and help educate others.
