Final Writing Assignment
Painting of the signing of the Constitution
Who has rights?
What are those rights?
Now expand your outline into an essay that answers the question:
How does the Bill of Rights establish and continue to define the rights we have as Americans?
Your argument will consist of claims that you can support with evidence. Your essay should reference how the conflict between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists created and shaped the Bill of Rights, what kinds of rights are enumerated within it, and how varying understandings of its meaning have changed over time. While you should include historical facts from this lesson, your argument should also be informed by the conclusions you have drawn from the evidence.
