Here's a breakdown:
Title Case:
* Capitalize the first letter of the first word and all other words except for:
* Articles (a, an, the)
* Prepositions (of, to, in, on, etc.)
* Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet)
* Very short words (with, without, up, down, etc.)
Examples:
* The Declaration of Independence
* The Treaty of Versailles
* The Gettysburg Address
* A History of the United States
Exceptions:
* Style Guides: Some specific style guides may have different rules for capitalization in titles. For example, the Chicago Manual of Style recommends capitalizing all words in a title that are four letters or longer.
* Original Document: If you are referring to an original historical document, it is important to maintain the original capitalization as closely as possible.
Tips:
* Context: Consider the context of the document and the era it was written in.
* Consistency: Be consistent with your capitalization throughout your work.
Remember, these are general guidelines. The specific rules for capitalization may vary depending on the context and the style guide you are using.
