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)Life, liberty, and property. Jefferson changed property to "pursuit of happiness."
3) No centralized government
4)We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure...something, 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) The Fifth - Right to due process, and protection against self-incrimination.
Extra Credit: I'd say human-animal hybrids, except I go to school HERE and there probably are some running around I don't know about. So I'll go with hydrogen cars.
