-
The lesson's goal is to enhance student understanding of basic civil rights and liberties through a comparison of the basic documents undergirding the laws of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany. The lesson contains: (1) a quiz on the basic rights in the United States and West Germany; (2) an outline of the civil rights and liberties under the U.S. Constitution and the Basic Law of West Germany; (3) notes on the Basic Law; (4) major differences concerning rights and liberties in the two documents; and (5) guidelines for presenting the lesson. The unit can be introduced with the quiz to stimulate interest in the differences between the two countries. After taking the quiz, the students can use copies of the West German Basic Law and the U.S. Constitution to locate the correct answers. Following discussion of the similarities and differences between the countries, the quizzes are returned for a class review of the correct answers. (SM)
