Finding a Sequence

You will learn about the steps of the legislative process by reviewing documents created or received by Congress at various points in history as it was considering new laws.

Analyze each document to determine which of the 10 steps of the legislative process was taking place when the document was created. Drag each document to the appropriate box to arrange the documents in the proper sequence. Click “Show Hints” to reveal the title of each step. When you have finished, you will answer several questions about the legislative process.
