From the Declaration of Independence, the words that stuck to me were, “Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” I think one of the reasons it stood out to me was because of the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. While I continued to read the Declaration of Independence, all I could think about is what exactly do those words mean. Also I thought about how the pursuit of happiness compares to then and now.
I noticed that the Constitution differs from the Declaration of Independence through their focuses. I feel like the Constitution went into more detail of the government setup whereas more vague.
I thought it was interesting to look into both of these sources/ documents because we have somewhat skimmed it in past history class, but not really look at. It was also interesting because they are somewhat the basis of what our country/government practice.
