In this assignment, you want to figure out how the parts of the Constitutionwork together to create liberty for American citizens. While writing a literary analysis essay of the U.S. Constitution, you may want to consider thefollowing:

1. What major parts of the Constitution are there? How do they function?
2. What liberties does this document provide?
3. For whom did this document actually provide liberty? Was anyone left out?
4. How was this document similar to or different from the Iroquois Constitution?

Assignment requirements:

• Focus on how the Constitution provides liberty for American citizens.
• Use quotations from the Constitution to support your points.
• (optional) compare or contrast the U.S. Constitution with theHaudenosaunee Great Law of Peace (the Iroquois Constitution).
• include a introductoryparagraph with a hook and a thesis, a supporting paragraph, and a concludingparagraph

The assignment should be built on a strong thesis statement,one that is debatable, not just a fact. And don't forget to support your position withstrong evidence from the Constitution itself! Without evidence, an analysis essay isnothing.

You can use any resources for reference as long as they are credible and relevant to the topic. Down below are some references given to get started.
