Constitution

__** Do now 1/10/11 **__

3/5 compromise summary:

The three fifths compromise was an agreement on which slaves were counted into the population of America.

ccqs:
 * 3/5 of America's population was slaves!? Thats more than half! which means that the slave owners owned a severe amount of slaves
 * more than 500,000 black American slaves! That is crazy!
 * Why must people insist on having slaves? Why can't they do their own work?
 * slaves are only worth 3/5 of a person(not considered as a human being)..racist!
 * slavery is now part of constitution
 * slaves are objects to be bought and owned >sounds like prostitution to me
 * all men are supposed to be treated equally. Slaves are still human.which make them still man




 * Executive branch can end a war officially
 * Legislative branch can make a war official
 * if a president wants to make a law, he can't make it but he can suggest it to the congress

__** Do now 1/11/11 **__ First Amendment: Freedom ! (speech, religion, peacefully assemble) An amendment (which there are 27 of) is a __change__ of a law or bill
 * You can't be proven innocent. You can only be proven not guilty meaning it's possible you commited the crime but there is not enough proof to prove it.
 * it's better that many people stay uncaptured than 1 innocent person is blamed guilty

__Strengths for school district__ __Strengths for student__
 * They believed it was innapropriate
 * The school district is in charge of everything at the school
 * he followed the first amandment
 * it invaded the privacy of parents, but the names were erased.

__My vote__: STUDENTS ! I voted for the students because although the school district is incharge and believed it was innapropriate, the students still followed the first amendment. Although it invaded the parent's privacy, the names were erased, which states them anonymously.
