Declaration of Independence, and Constitution

 The declaration of Independance and the constitution look very similar, except the

declaration of independance is like an agreement on something, because it has a lot of

signatures, and John Hancocks is the biggest signature on there, but the constitutions is stating

something, the first line says we the people in really big letters, that shows that a group of people

agreed on something and they are stating that. the declaration of independance looks like a

contract that you have to get signed if you want this law to pass. The constitution and the

declaration of independence are both housed in the rotunda of the national archives building in

downtown Washington D.C. The Declaration of independence is important because it contains

the ideals and goals of our nation, the complaints of the colonist against the British king, and it

contains the arguments the colonist explained why they wanted to be free of British rule. The

constitution is important because, it established america's national government and fundamental

laws, and guarantees certain basic rights for citizens. I found my information and pictures about

the constitution and the declaration of independence on google images, and history.com. They

have special preservationist that keep both the declaration of independance, and the constitution

framed and glazed in a fireproof safe, for preservation, and display. The constitution represents

the hopes and dreams of the American people, we have the ability to do whatever we want to a

certain extent without being punished for it. and the declaration of independance represents

freedom. Both the constitution and the declaration of independance both represent freedom

without these pieces of paper, our society today wouldn’t be where it is, we would be held back

from doing things because of the British king, but thanks to the constitution, and the declaration

of independance, we have the ability to do what we want to a certain limit.
