US Government (Friday, February 3, 4th period)
"As promised, today we have our first test of the semester. 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. What year was the Magna Carta signed? Why is it important in terms of the American government?
2. What three things did John Locke's believe we have a right to? Which one did Jefferson change?
3. The Articles of Confederation didn't work for a number of reasons. Give me an example of one of them.
4. The Preamble to the Constitution. Go ahead. Sing. But you better write it down, too.
5. Bill of Rights. There are ten amendments. Give me one of them.
Extra credit: Stupider thing to put in a State of the Union address: the banning of human-animal hybrids or cars that run on hydrogen?
"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."

Re: Take the test (February 3, US Government)
1. The Manga Carta was signed in 1215. By signing this document, it put forth that no one man was above the law.
2. John Locke believed we were entitled to life, liberty and property. Thomas Jefferson changed property to the pursuit of happiness.
3. One reason the Articles of Confederation failed was the lack of centralized government.
4. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Isabel might have hummed as she wrote this.
5. Seventh Amendment - Right to a jury trial.
EC. Human-animal hybrids. If we lived it Star Trek verse, that would be valid but Kirk's retired and we ain't on the Enterprise.
