Hey everyone! Today we debated the ideas of the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Please email me if you need help with any of the material. As we discussed in class, the Federalists were able to get all but two states to ratify the Constitution by 1788 (North Carolina and Rhode Island joined into the new government in 1789 and 1790 respectively).
For homework, you have two small assignments. They are:
1.) Read the fictional United Nations proposal about strengthening the powers of the organization. Answer the questions.
2.) Read the Bill of Rights and rank the 3 amendments that you believe are most important to you. Explain (in a written paragraph or so) why you believe these are the most important amendments.
We will go more in depth with the Bill of Rights and several controversies with it on Monday. As we decided last class, our test will be on Friday (a smaller test than usual). I will email you the study guide soon, but please start looking over your notes and the handouts I have been giving you.
Have a great night!
