Our Constitution Badge #2 Part of #9 & #19
September 12th, 2016
Requirement 2 wanted me to read and memorize the 56 words of the The Declaration of Independence, Starting from "We hold these truths..." through "...consent of the governed." Also what do these words mean?
The Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Website for The Declaration of Independence: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
Talk about what these words mean with your family, friends, etc.
What do the words mean to you?
