Madison s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144300332 was evident in the case of Marbury vs. Madison case of 1803. In this case, the supreme court decided they would have the power of judicial review. This shows constitutional dynamism because they are the people who get to interpret the constitution in different ways as they see fit.

It allowed people in Kansas or Nebraska to decide if they want to have slavery in their borders or not. This shows the constitution is dynamic because people's interpretation of the power of the states and Government changed.

On January 31st, 1865 congress passed Amendment 13 which abolished slavery in America. It was ratified on December 6th of the same year. This gave congress the power to enforce the law of no slavery. This changes how we viewed equality because we thought that all men were created equal, but until the 13th amendment none of us were really considered equal. This kept the constitution dynamic because this changes our knowledge of the 5th amendment which states the government cannot take away anyone’s life liberty or property without due process of law. We now know that African Americans are considered citizens too. ]]> 2016-12-19 13:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144301671 Limited Government: 16th Amendment s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144354448 The 16th amendment gave Congress the power to collect and lay income taxes on without approval from the states. This shows constitutional dynamism because it significantly changed the power of our government because they decided that they have that power for themselves. If they didn't do this, all the power to tax would go to the states which could cause an imbalance of power.]]> 2016-12-19 17:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144354448 Limited Government: Supremacy clause s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144406842 Article VI clause 2 states that the constitution and the federal laws made according to it are the supreme laws of the land. This is an example of the constitution being stable because it´s basically saying we all, including those involved with the government have to follow these laws no matter who we are and they´re not about to change. ]]> 2016-12-20 02:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144406842 Checks and balances: Article 2 - The Executive BranchSection 1 - The President s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144407460 The executive power is put into the put into the president of the United States. The president has a lot of responsibilities that are different from any of the other branches. The president can command the military, sign bills or veto them, handles our affairs with other countries , and much more. This shows constitutional stability because we put a lot of power into one person and he or she has a list of responsibilities that they have to fulfill. ]]> 2016-12-20 02:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144407460 Federalism: Federal Judge bans Indiana abortion law s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144457772 Indiana anti-abortion law was deemed unconstitutional by Judge Tanya Walton. She said the law was unconstitutional because it would violate the supreme court precedents that state the decision to an abortion is a women's right. This is an example of how the constitution has remained stable because in this case it held up the existing right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness under the 14th amendment. ]]> 2016-12-20 13:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144457772 Popular Sovereignty: Supreme court strikes down Obama´s immigration law. s_sophia_cross https://padlet.com/s_sophia_cross/v8spx7xev7ns/wish/144457845
"For more than two decades now our immigration system, everybody acknowledges, has been broken," And the fact that the Supreme Court wasn't able to issue a decision today doesn't just set the system back even further, it takes us further from the country that we aspire to be." President Obama stated this after his law to allow more than 4 million undocumented immigrants to become citizens was struck down by the Supreme Court.This issue has been a popular topic for so long and now it will become even more popular and affect the lives of many. The majority of the popular agreed through their elected officials and their nominee for the supreme court struck it down. Showing the constitutions is stable because it kept the laws around immigration in tact and no interpretation of it was done.
