Civics assignment for August 23, 2012

1. Define the constitution.. In your own words. (3-5 sentences.)

The Constitution defines the Government and places limits on it's power. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives and 100 Senators. It protects our rights. It's purpose was to replace the Articles of Confederation with a new framework of government. It states what the powers of the national government are as well as the powers of the state governments.

2.  How would your life be without the constitution?

Well, one thing the constitution does is it explains the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. If we didn't have the constitution to explain how each of these worked, we would not have the balance of powers between them. Without the balance of powers there would be a definite power struggle with no law of the land to guide us.

3.  define the following words:

Ratification - a state of being.

Federalism - the federal principle of the government.

Federalist / antifederalist

I believe that she shod be allowed to wear what her religion requires. Especially because she had made it clear, that she is forbidden to wear mens clothing. They should have respected that, or at least not hired her to begin with. Also, whenever she was sent home for "Not wearing the correct clothing", i believe they should have went about it in a different way than they did. The way it was done, was just rude.

Everyone should quit worrying about it. They have bigger and better things to worry about other than him waving the towel. Worry about him running for political office.
