Genealogy of the Constitution
Because America was part of the British Empire, The American Constitution has a British legal heritage. Over the course of 600+ years, several liberty charters were birthed out of the struggle between the English people and oppressive government.  These charters form the basis of our Constitution's legal heritage and shed light on the development of the legal protections for our most cherished liberties.  Test your knowledge of these charters.
