I am writing a paper on documents influential to the American Constitution, and I was wondering how to format the title:

Question

English Bill of Rights

into my thesis in APA.

Thanks!

Answer 1

According to Perdue OWL, "Titles of books and reports are italicized or underlined; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks"

But I am having trouble figuring it out. . .

Answer 2

I don’t believe historical documents like this need to be italicized or underlined. Just make sure you have the capital letters in the right places, and you’ll be fine.

Answer 3

If the historical document is titled, the title should be in quotation marks.

Answer 4

I disagree. Do we put quotation marks around United States Constitution or Declaration of Independence every time we write those titles?

Answer 5

Thank you, Writeacher!

Answer 6

You're welcome!
