Instructional Focus Document Notes Grade 8/Social Studies UNIT: 02 TITLE: Celebrate Freedom Week Part 1: Natural Rights

Celebrate Freedom Week Our Natural Rights –also known as “Unalienable Rights” are basic rights that we are born with that should note be denied by any government. These Natural Rights (Unalienable Rights) are listed in the Declaration of Independence ---written by our founding fathers in and they are Life, Liberty(freedom), and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Celebrate Freedom Week Our Founding Fathers identified how these Natural Rights were being restricted by the government of Great Britain when they listed them in the Declaration of Independence. After the Revolutionary War, they answered those complaints in the U.S. Constitution (written in 1787) by guaranteeing those rights to every American Citizen.

Some examples are:
