The claims you make should be supported by evidence, including relevant quotations, from the videos and primary sources in the lesson. To begin, you can review your notes in “My Work” as well as any of the following:

Use Organize It to arrange your notes into five sections: an introduction, three supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your introductory paragraph should state your argument, and the closing paragraph should summarize your conclusion. Use these questions to help structure your claims in the supporting paragraphs:
- How did the conflict between Federalists and Anti-Federalists shape the Bill of Rights?
- What kinds of rights and freedoms does the Bill of Rights provide, and how are they significant?
- How have the varied perspectives on the rights of Americans changed over time?
