Post #3- YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
Find the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution
What do they look like? Where are they housed? Why are they important? How did you find them? Who is in charge of preserving them? What do they represent to our society and our posterity?
Write your blog post showing images of these documents and the answers to the questions above.

The  Declaration of Independence and the Constitution resemble old coffee stained paper. They are written in cursive writing, with a feather and ink, as you can see from the documents below.Both documents are housed at the United States of America National Archives in Washington D.C. The Declaration of Independence is important because it was the start of the United States and it says that a government exists for the benefit of the people and that "all men are created equal." The Constitution is important because it is the foundation of our country, it outlines all of our rights as citizens, and it allows us to be protected by its amendments from each other and most
importantly from the government. I found them on google. The conservation lab has the job of preserving the documents. to us they represent important documents that created our country. For our posterity it represents a symbol of order and control so that we never go off track.
