Research | Study Guide

Read (Required) the following foundational documents:

• The US Declaration of Independence
• The Constitution of the United States of America
• The Bill of Rights

Helpful Hint: This list of documents applies to Lesson 1, but should in no way hinder further individual research and critical analysis of supporting, external lesson materials. Use the lesson pages as a guide during your reading to uncover the key parts of the documents that relate to Homeland Security.
