Today
in class I completed my missed test on the early settlement and separation of
America from Britain. Unfortunately, I think I missed the daily Moment of Zen
due to this. The multiple choice questions were relatively easy, but the short
answer took longer than I thought. Due to being half asleep from my cold, my
mind kept wandering as I was trying to write the essay. Oh well, if you think
it’s good Mr. Schick, then I guess it’s O.K. The three documents I was told to
take notes on and research were A.B.C.; standing for The Articles of
Confederation, The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution.
The Articles of Confederation
-Opening paragraph discusses which states are accepting this
document
-There are five articles
-Each article states how a different part of government will
work
-First article states that this confederacy shall be called
the United States of America
Bill of Rights
-The Bill of Rights is the first Ten Amendments to the
Constitution
-The first amendment is about freedom of speech, religion,
etc.
-2-4 talk about the rights of people towards the government
or the military, mostly saying that the government/soldiers will do the exact
opposite of what Britain did
-6-7 discuss the rights of people in court
-7-8 discuss jail and bail (rhymes)
-9-10 discuss that government can’t take away your rights
and that the rights not owned by the government are owned by the people
The Constitution
-Opening phrase ‘We the People’
-Has ‘Sections’ and within those, ‘Articles’
(I’m going to use the headers for each section from the
site, but I’m not going to use quotes so don’t freak out)
-Article 1- Legislation
-Article 2- Executive
-Article 3- Judicial
-Article 4- State’s Relations
-Article 5- Mode of Amendment
-Article 6- Prior Debts, National Supremacy, Oaths of Office
-Article 7- Ratification
Side note: I know I’ve already mentioned these people in a
past video, but it somehow didn’t click until now. Impact Props not only makes
great game props, but they also make fantastic videos. Thought you might
at least see the opening, as it has some cool camera effects.
