Founding Documents and the US Constitution flowcharts

Founding Documents and the US Constitution flowcharts

These flowcharts bring documents and ideas together on the page. Several compare the Declaration of Independence with the Bill of Rights, while others include the Declaration of Sentiments. One flowchart also covers the Articles of Confederation, constitutional powers and the Federalists and Anti-federalists.

How to study with a flowchart

Start with The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights if you want to compare why the documents were written. Follow the chart’s connections, then explain the relationship in your own words without looking. Another flowchart brings the Declaration of Sentiments into the comparison, giving you another document to consider.

Once you have followed a chart, switch to a quiz on the unit page to check what you remember. If you want to practice individual terms, try a flashcard deck there instead. Come back to the flowchart when you need to see the connections again. Pick a chart and follow its links.
