Reaction to Reading/Analyzing Pre-20th Century Documents

At first, I felt worried that I had to deal with documents such as the English Declaration of Rights of 1689 and the American Declaration of Independence. Although, after reading through the first couple lines I found that there was actually a lot that I understood.

There were a couple phrases and words that left me completely lost, but it's nothing a couple definitions couldn't fix. After dealing with these two documents, I feel a little more comfortable reading pre-20th century documents. Nevertheless, I still feel nervous about analyzing these documents because I always feel like I'm misinterpreting everything.

 

Wish me luck
