Amendment 6 Kevin

The main idea of the sixth amendment is that if you can't afford a lawyer (legal counsel ) either try to get one or the government will get you one. This amendment is interesting to me because I know It can protect me.

Amendment 9 Dana

The main idea is that not all rights can be listed in the Constitution. There are so many basic human rights that not all of them could be listed in the Constitution. Just because a right isn't expressly written into the Constitution that doesn't mean it isn't exactly a right. For example,no where in the Constitution does it talk about your right to have children, but this would be a right that people have. The government can't say who may have children and who may not.

7th amendment

The 7 th amendment is about the right to trial by jury. We chose this amendment because we are interested in how juries work.

Amendment 1 Jenna

The amendment that I chose was amendment I. Amendment I says that everyone has the freedom of speech, religion and press. It also says that you have the right to assemble and petition government (ask questions). Amendment I interests me because without it we would not be able to stand up for what we believe in.

Jenna

Amendment 1 jenn

Amendment #1is about freedom of speech, freedom or religion, and the press. This is the right to assemble,and the right to petition government. This amendment was chosen by me be cause I believe this amendment is a amendment that should protect my ability to say what's on my mind.

Amendment one

I chose amendment one for this post. The main idea of ammendment one is to have freedom of religion, speech, and press. This amendment is important to me because I go to church and without this amendment the government could tell me not to go.

The 1st amendment

The first amendment is mainly talking about freedom.It's talking about freedom of religion,freedom of speech and the press,and also has the right to gather and the right to talk to the government.The first amendment of the bill of right let's us have freedom and rights.Another reason I chose the 1st amendment because it gives us free religion and rights to everyone.That is why I chose the 1st amendment. Miller W.

Amendment 8

Original Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Summary:You can oppose bail that is too high or that should not have been charged. People also cannot be given cruel and unusual punishment because it is illegal. This bail interested me because it is a necessary amendment and should be taken seriously; not just by people and not just by the state itself, but by the world as one.

7th amendment

Amendment 8

You can't excessively keep bailing someone out over and over. The judge can't give a big excessive bond. The judge can't make cruel and unusual punishments. The judge can't give stiff fines. Thats good so they have a chance to get out. But i also think it's bad because if they do something bad they have a chance to get out of jail. I chose this amendment because it interested me. It interested me because it was about bonds and I watch shows about bondsman.




David K

Choose one of the ten amendments to explicate, and translate the main idea. Be sure to use details from the amendment to support your explanation. This time, you must use also include a another source of media (a picture, a news article, or a movie) found on the internet that is related to your amendment. Your extension/summary should include why you chose the amendment that you chose.

Daily objectives:

We will learn to insert pictures into blog posts, finish our mock trial, and prepare to create an iBook about what we have learned.

Executive branch

If we had to choose which branch to be in it would be the executive branch because the executive branch suggests laws to the legislative branch.It also carries out laws. The head of the executive branch is the president.





By:hunter and Sean

Executive branch

I chose the executive branch because it can suggest laws, and I like to make my own decisions. I also like to share my ideas. I'm a lot like the executive branch because I like to participate in everything . The executive branch can suggest laws and can carry out laws.
If I could suggest laws, I would say that Chill Froyo would stay open all the time because some people like to eat yummy treats after school. The executive branch also leads laws like I lead my family and my classmates. That's what I would do, that's why I chose the executive branch .

legislative branch

I would want to be the legislative branch because the legislative branch gets to make the laws for the country. It is also known as congress and has two parts: Senate and the House of Representatives. I would also create laws like no eating candy because it's bad for your body, and no drugs at stores becase other people may be drug free. I also want to be the legislative branch because I would raise up taxes to get more money to pay back our debts to the government. That is why I want to be the legislative branch. Miller W.

Legislative branch

We would like to work for the Legaslative branch. We would like to make laws for the country and help do justice and peace. These are the reasons we would like to make laws. We would like to make laws like donate food to the homeless because we wouldn't like them to starve to death. No texting while driving and no drunk driving because people can get arrested, hurt, and/or killed. The branch is also called Congress. Congress has the power to raise money through taxes or by borrowing. The money is used to pay for goods and services.

The Preamble of the U.S.A.
"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 to our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"




Dana and Byron

The executive branch

We would be the executive branch because we would get to suggest laws even though the don't always get approved. Also it carries out laws is made by congress .The president is the head of the branch. Since that branch suggest laws, Here is one of ours,WeI suggest that there should be more electricians and exterminators because some might be too busy. There should be more homeless shelters for the less fortunate. Last there should be more affordable electronics and games because games cost around 60$ that's a lot of money.Last we would be the executive branch because you can make very generous laws. That is why we would be the executive branch of Goverment



Kayleigh and Kevin

Legislative Branch: David k & Jenna

We would choose the legislative branch if we had to choose a branch to work for. We would choose this branch because we would like to make the laws. The legislative branch is similar to the executive branch because the executive branch suggest laws but the legislative branch makes them. One law we would make is no homework because we do work all day at school and then we go home and do more work. As children, we just do not like doing work but as an adult, you could see it this way: we can't do chores or stay physically fit by exercising. Most children need time to be children. Be aware that the legislative branch makes nationwide laws, so all children in America would not have to do homework. If we were part of the legislative branch, we would also make a law that all homeless people are given jobs to support themselves. These are the reasons we would want to be part of the legislative branch.
