- Go through the muesum exhibit to learn about the different historical documents that influenced the Constitution.
- Complete the challenges and answer the questions as your work your way through the escape room.
Mayflower Compact 1620
Influence: It was one of the first examples of self-government in the American colonies.
How it connects to the Constitution: It showed that government is based on the consent of the governed — the people agree to follow rules for the good of the group. It introduced the idea of social contract, where citizens and leaders work together to make and follow laws. This concept later influenced the Founding Fathers when they created a government “by the people, for the people.”
Magna Carta 1215
Influence: Limited Government and Rule of Law The Magna Carta was the first document to limit the power of the king, showing that even rulers must obey the law. It introduced the idea of due process — people have the right to fair treatment under the law. It protected rights like trial by jury and no taxation without consent. These ideas shaped the U.S. Constitution by ensuring that the government’s power would be limited by laws and that citizens’ rights would be protected.
Aligned Principles of Government: Limited Government – Government leaders must follow the law. Individual Rights – Citizens have protected legal rights.
English Bill of Rights 1689
Influence: Individual Rights and Separation of Power It expanded on the Magna Carta by clearly listing rights of citizens and limiting the power of the monarchy even further. It guaranteed freedoms like petitioning the government, freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms. It influenced the U.S. Constitution and later the Bill of Rights (first 10 Amendments) by reinforcing the importance of protecting citizens’ freedoms from government abuse. It also supported the idea of regular elections and a government accountable to the people.
Aligned Principles of Government: Individual Rights – Citizens are guaranteed basic freedoms. Limited Government – The government’s power must be checked. Republicanism – Leaders are chosen and held accountable by the people.
Federalists Papers 1787
Influence: These were essays written to support ratification of the U.S. Constitution (by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay).
How they influenced the Constitution:They explained and defended the principles behind the new Constitution. They helped shape understanding of checks and balances, separation of powers, and federalism — dividing power between national and state governments. They built public support for a stronger central government while still protecting individual rights and state powers.
