Principle Lay

I believe that principle Lay should be punished in some ways but not so drastically that he loses his job. It is obvious that he is strong in his faith, and may have truly forgotten that he can not just do that anywhere he wants. I think that I would have a hard time too, in his situation because of my beliefs. I have seen many prayers going down at school and I personally don't see anything wrong with it, but those who don't have a certain faith or a different faith could take extreme offense to that.

Pros-
        Morals
        Uniformity
        A way to change behavioral issues.
Cons-
         Rebels
         Offending people
          Seperation

Bill of Rights Scenarios

Scenario #1-
                   
                     I believe that her fourth amendment was violated by him looking for the bomb for no apparent reason and ultimately seizing it.

Scenario #2-

                     I believe Sam Davis's first amendment was violated in the process of them shutting down his town meeting. He may have started the riot but that does not mean he participated in it, the crowd may have just reacted to what he had to say. Ultimately he has the right to speak his mind and he took all of the proper steps before holding the meeting.

Scenario #3-

                    I would say her situation falls under the ninth amendment because she has the right to remain in her house. Regardless of the situation with the roads.

Scenario #4-

                    I do not believe any amendments were violated in this action made by the principle. It is obvious that the parents are just worried about what to do with their kids.

Scenario #5-

                    I believe his fifth and sixth amendment rights have been violated by the actions taken by police. They had no reason at all to arrest him besides speculation that he had done something to the guy's grandfather.

Articles of Confederation

In this video the speaker does a great job at highlighting the key points of the Articles of Confederation. One of the main things I gathered was that the Articles of Confederation really was a great idea but just have a lot of speed bumps on the way. The point was to split up the power and give both the Federal Government as well as the states equal power to do what they please within reason. It was important that each state have the same amount of power as the other. Despite thing being fair in that aspect, it created a problem because they had to have 9 out of the 13 agree on something in order for it to be passed which was virtually impossible. Not including the fact that 13 out of the 13 had to agree in order to amend something. This was a hard thing to face and ultimately it caused a need for some changes to be made. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was a document that granted other provinces or areas the ability to join the United States. This was a good thing because the U. S had the chance to grow. There were a lot of problems with the Articles because there was no president in place, no government and no court system. Ultimately those things would be the things that destroyed the movement of The Articles of Confederation.

Three Branches Cartoons

I think this picture represents how the legislative branch has the power to make and propose laws but overall the other branches has the same amount of power when it comes to not passing the law or bill.

 

 

 To me this shows how the Executive branch of government truly goes out on a limb no matter what situation they get themselves into. It is no surprise that many countries do not want to go to war but sometimes war is inevitable. Unfortunately the executive branch is forced to then do something about it.

 

 

 

This represents just how the whole idea of a Judicial form of doing things came about. It recognizes the case of Marbury vs. Madison and illustrates how something had to be done in order to insure that no unconstitutional things were being done because someone was mad that they lost the election.
