This learning resource focuses on mapping the Declaration of Independence using the civic lease analogy. Students will explore the relationship between government and citizens as defined by the terms of the social contract. The lesson includes an examination of the Preamble, where students identify government responsibilities and the rights of the people to terminate this contract. Through annotations of the text and a lease analysis table, students will connect concepts of safety, consent, and the breach of lease terms, culminating in a discussion of the Declaration as an eviction notice against unjust governance. The resource encourages critical thinking on the implications of civic agreements and the logic of political action regarding governmental authority.
