Blog - Short class

Today is a "S" day! We had a two-hour delay and every class is shorten to 40 minutes. During the class period, Mr. Schick divided us into group of two students and let each group pick one of the Article of constitution to work on. My partner is Ryan and we got the Article 3, which focus on the Judicial System of the government. It is kinda of long but I think we can do a decent job on it.

Blog - Notes

Today, we discussed about the three branches of US government as well as the seven articles of the constitution.

• Legislative - Senate, House of Representative
• Executive - President (Vice President, Cabinet)
• Judicial - Supreme Court & Other Federal Government 

These branches regulate each other for preventing the occurrence of overpower and the abuse of power. 

Seven Articles 

1. Congress
2. President - Power
3. Supreme Court
4. Relation between the States; Relation between the Federal Government and States
5. How to amend the Constitution
6. Constitution is the supreme law for the entire country
7. How to ratify constitution - 2/3 of the majority

Blog - Notes

During the class period, Mr. Schick lectured us the Constitutional Convention, which focus on designing a new government for running the country. The main leaders are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. They kept the door shut so no one can know what are they talking about.

• First decision - two houses in Congress
• Senate - each states gets one vote
• House of Representatives - vote determined by the population of state
• Slave - split the delegate into two groups
• North - Slave is property - no representation
• South - Slave should be counted with white (since they have more slave)
• Solution - The Three-fifth compromise - count 3/5 of each slave in determining political representation and taxation.

Today, we discussed the Article of Confederation and the Bill of Rights. For the first twenty minutes, Mr. Schick gave us the lecture and we took the notes. Later, he showed us a rap about the debate between Hamouaton and Jefferson. The speakers in the room sounds phenomenally well and everyone seems enjoyed the rap.

Blog - Test

Today, we went over the test that we took yesterday. I got 1 question wrong, which is about the first person died in Boston Massacre. Surprising, Jerry did the exact same mistake as i did and we would have had a 100 on the test :O. After that, Mr. Schick told us to read the book about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation is a plan of government written by colonists in 1777. The Bill of Right listed the actions that the government is not allow to take, in conjunction with being the first amendment of the Constitution.
