This activity asks students to use the Declaration of Independence as a primary resource document to help them figure out which rights they believe are the most important to American citizens and human rights in general. They are then asked to try to analyze the Japanese internment from a legal and personal standpoint. In addition to short answers, students are also required to create well-developed paragraphs exploring their personal beliefs to come up with their own point of view.
