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)
2. John Locke believed in a right to life, liberty, and property. Jeffeson changed "property" to "pursuit of happiness."
3. According to the Articles of Confederation, all decisions had to be agreed upon unanimously by all states. Because of this, it was damn near impossible to get anything done.
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 defense, 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.
5. First Amendment: The right to free speech, press, religion, and a couple other things.
Extra credit: Cars that run on hydrogen. That's just insane.
And combining human and animal genetics isn't always a bad thing, omg.
