Charters of Freedom
Declaration of Independence
Constitution
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a
more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do
ordain and establish this Constitution for the United
States of America.
Bill of Rights
The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the
time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a
desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its
powers that further declaratory and restrictive clauses
should be added.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or
otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the
land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual
service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any
person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in
jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any
criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be
deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process
of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,
without just compensation.
We hold these truths to be self‐evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.‐‐That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ‐‐That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government

American Imperialism
Progressive Era
“But today we are raising more than
we can consume. Today we are
making more than we can
use…There are more workers than
there is work. We do not need more
money – we need more circulation,
more employment. Therefore, we
must find new markets for our
produce, new occupation for our
capital, new work for our labor…” –
Senator Albert J. Beveridge, 1898
“…In the barrels would be dirt and
rust and old nails and stale water—
and cartload after cartload of it
would be taken up and dumped into
the hoppers with fresh meat, and
sent out to the public's breakfast.
Some of it they would make into
"smoked" sausage—but as the
smoking took time, and was
therefore expensive; they would call
upon their chemistry department,
and preserve it with borax and color
it with gelatin to make it brown. All
of their sausage came out of the
same bowl, but when they came to
wrap it they would stamp some of it
"special," and for this they would
charge two cents more a pound.” –
The Jungle, Upton Sinclair
How does this passage relate to the
topic of American Imperialism?
World War I

Civil Rights Movement
“I object in the strongest possible
way to having the United States
agree, directly or indirectly, to be
controlled by a league [of nations]
which may at any time…,be drawn in
to deal with internal conflicts in
other countries…We should never
allow the United States to be
involved in any internal conflict in
another country.” – Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge
“…The Director of the War
Relocation Authority is authorized
and directed to formulate an
effectuate [implement] a program
for the removal, from the areas
designated from time to time by the
Secretary of War or appropriate
military commander under the
authority of Executive Order No.
9066 of February 19, 1942, of the
persons or classes of persons
designated under such Executive
Order, and for their relocation,
maintenance, and supervision…” –
Executive Order 9102, 1942
“One may want to ask: ‘How can you
advocate breaking some laws and
obeying others?’ The answer lies in
the fact that there are two types of
laws: just and unjust. I would be the
first to advocate obeying just laws.
