Know Your Rights!
I am compiling important documents that need to be easily available for interested people. I have started with the Constitution of the United States, the U.S. Bill of Rights, the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights portions of the constitutions of the individual States. As time goes by I will be to gathering supporting documents and pointers to other relevant pages. I would also like to branch out to countries other than the United States. Any suggestions or URLs will be greatly appreciated.
