US Government (Wednesday, September 27, 4th period)
Josh had gone through four cups of coffee since his first period class, so he was way more awake.
Not quite at Caf-Pow levels of crazed, though.
"As promised, today we have our first test of the semester," he said. "I'm sure you're all thrilled. If you're not, well, fake it."
Josh stood up from his desk and passed out test papers.
1. The word "democracy" comes from two Greek words. What are they and what do they mean?
2. What year was the Magna Carta signed? Why is it important in terms of the American government?
3. What three things did John Locke believe we have a right to? Which one did Jefferson change?

5. How does the Declaration of Independence begin (initial phrase only: Jefferson loved the compound sentence)?
"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."

Re: Take the test
2. The Magna Carta was signed by King John at Runnymede in 1215. It established Parliament and the idea that not even the King is above the law.
3. John Locke believed that people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of property. Thomas Jefferson changed the last to 'pursuit of happiness.'
4. If I were King George III, I would not have let the situation get to the point where the Colonials believed a Declaration of Independence was their only option. But then, I am not mad.
5. "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have..."
