It was made to give the ability to have a vote or referendum on the United States war declaration (if the U.S. didn't get attacked first). This was during a time where regular people would be drafted for war so this would give them the option to choose the war they were possibly going to be drafted for in hopes that it will be easier to plan as well if we choose and formally declare war on a foreign power. This would have been an example of Stable Popular Sovereignty if it had gone through. ]]> 2017-01-12 12:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/146754893 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/146965919 This Amendment was passed by Congress in 1947. It made the sitting president only have 2 terms of 4 years each thus dashing or getting rid of monarchies and dictatorships. This is an example of Limited Government because the change of leader happens every 4 or 8 years depending on re-election.]]> 2017-01-13 05:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/146965919 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147055537 The Watergate scandal which began in 1972 led on to have investigators find tape recorders installed in the Oval Office. This was just after people found out that Nixon had something to do with the burglars that broke into the Democratic Headquarters before the general election started. The investigation continued and investigators demanded the all the tapes be handed over. Nixon didn't agree with that saying he had "executive privilege", basically saying I don't have to because I'm president. Since the tapes were considered evidence Nixon couldn't get those rights. Supreme Court took on the case and said Nixon would give the tapes up. After this the Checks and Balances that were enforced is that the president or any federal office can't act up in a way like that.]]> 2017-01-13 14:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147055537 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147079303 In 1981 a proposal was made oddly by a Japanese senator to make English the official language of the U.S.. Senator Samuel Hayakawa suggested this. The main goal of the amendment was to ensure English keeps its #1 spot as the leading language spoken in the U.S.. This didn't go through for the obvious reasons of culture, the fact that it was seen as anti-Semitic at the time and, immigrants who come here and still want to speak their language. It would have made things much easier in the federal world for doing government based things with immigrants who knew the language]]> 2017-01-13 16:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147079303 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083435 Also known as the War Powers Act is intended to keep the president's ability to send the U.S. to war or an armed conflict without the approval of Congress in check. It says the president can send armed forces in battle only by a declaration from Congress and nothing else. This keeps the president in check and keeps him or her from just saying "We declare war on Canada" without any Congressional approval. ]]> 2017-01-13 16:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083435 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083606 This case was in 1954 and it declared that public school made separately for whites and blacks unconstitutional. For 60 years before this case whites and blacks were separated due the race relations. The system that was in place hid under the false claim that it provided equal services for blacks when it gave them worse accommodations all around. This treatment varied in 17 states. Brown brought all these to the table and Supreme Court agreed. Federalism changed how blacks and all other races for the rest of history up until here.]]> 2017-01-13 16:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083606 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083864 This amendment says that D.C. can vote in the presidential elections but in return they cannot have representatives or Senators since they aren't actually a state. It is allowed electors in the college as if it were a state but no more than the state with the least electors which is Wyoming. This allows the people who live in D.C. to vote and give their choice for government without being a state.]]> 2017-01-13 16:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147083864 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147084222 This amendment is simple. All alcohol is banned. Congress had all enforcing power by the rules of course. It was ratified in 1919 and for the next 13 years it was in effect. This was the government limited alcohol for the safety of its people.]]> 2017-01-13 16:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147084222 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147151627 This amendment was made during the Great depression. It was to basically keep the rich from getting any richer by putting a limit on how money you can have capping it at 1,000,000 and nothing more. If you had more you were jailed or fined. This clearly didn't work considering it wouldn't stop the rich from getting more money but none of the money not made would leak to the poor. So no change happened here.]]> 2017-01-13 20:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147151627 s_mack_jouridine https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147153024 In the early morning, a robbery occurred on June 3, 1961. The culprit Clarence Earl Gideon had broke a cigarette machine and a record player. After taking money from the cash register he left. He got found out and police also found out he was flat-broke and couldn't pay for an attorney. So the case started and Gideon said that he has the right to an attorney. The case then got taken to Supreme Court where they ruled that every state must abide by the sixth amendment and give defendants an attorney if they cannot afford. This change has been in the history books as one of the most important cases in history considering what it did to the court system.]]> 2017-01-13 20:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mack_jouridine/eagqvj43rs5a/wish/147153024
