U.S. Government Documents: Deceleration of Independence, Constitution & Bill of Rights

Check out the digital versions of these Charters of Freedom
  • Take a look at the Deceleration of Independence by clicking here, then the Constitution here (same site), and the Bill of Rights. You can also check out an interactive Constitution here.
  • Try your hand at your American IQ by going to the channel one site (click here) and trying the quiz. 
  • Check out this Civics Quiz. I'm a little skeptical of some of the questions and their correct gauging of civics, and some of their conclusions about the data are rather dubious, but you might do fairly well since most of the questions are on the Constitution and last 100 years of US history.
