Legal Resolutions
As usual, I respect copyright so as a result I have not included some resources for this lesson.

A handout for students included would have been a mixture of relevant resources from Boardworks and Footprints. For copyright reasons I have not included this. Use other resources, such as textbooks or the internet to gain this research if these resources cannot be obtained.
