Girls State Training Section 2

I hope you found the first section of this training helpful! Please keep all of your notes together so you can take them with you to Girls State!

In this section of your training we will be focusing on the Declaration of Independence, Founding Fathers, Constitution of the United States of America, Bill of Rights & Amendments 11-27, US history timeline and Utah history timeline. We would like you to have an understanding of the important documents of our nation. Many of you have studied these through your history classes but we do ask that you read through these again. We would also like you to study more of Utah history as well. The cities of Girls State are named after Utah governors.

Section 2 document
Declaration of Independence, History of the Men Behind the Declaration of Independence, Founding Fathers, The Constitution of the United States of America, Bill of Rights and Amendments, US history time line, Utah history time line and Utah governor list. The last page includes a place for recording your specific information.

One of my favorite quotes from this movie:

"A toast, to high treason. That's what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would've been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and oh! oh my personal favorite, had their entrails cut out and burned! So, here's to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right."

-Ben Gates in National Treasure
