Acting in my role of history professor, it has come painfully to my attention that most students haven't the foggiest idea about the Constitutions, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and other documents leading to the establishment of the United States of America.

Therefore, offered for your edification and enlightment below you will find, in Acrobat PDF format, six historic documents that should go a long way in the student's understanding that ours is a nation of laws, not of people, title rank or privileged nobility.
The documents are the:
Declaration of Resolves, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution of the United States paralleled with the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession, and the Constitution of the Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America.
