What does it mean to be an American?




Write both of the following quotes and identify their source. How does being an American differ from citizenship in other countries?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
