The Constitution and the Amendments

We have gone through the sections of the Constitution a bit, but will be doing so more in detail when we cover each of the 3 branches of government. This will break up the joy and spread it out some.

Our Amendment projects are complete and presented.

For Review:
In your notebook, please make sure you either have your foldable which includes a BRIEF description of each of the articles and amendments. There is a class that did not do the foldable project. If you belong to this class, or did not do your foldable for another reason, then make sure that BEFORE THE MIDTERM EXAM you have included a short outline of the Constitution on your notebook.

Your summary should include:
-A short note about the purpose of each of the articles
-A short note about each amendment--this can be done as follows:

Article 1: Congress
-sets up the Senate and the House of Representatives, discusses qualifications and pay for each, and gives the powers.

Amendment 2:
-right to bear arms.
