This principle is similar to checks in balances because the congress and executive branch balanced out and had different powers. This made sure there was no abuse of power.]]> 2016-11-09 14:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136408250 The Principle of Checks and Balances johnpaul2 https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136409130 A principle that affects this case is checks and balances. This principle allow two branches to check on the other branch. This allows them to make sure that they balance the power, and the other branch doesn't create or do anything unconstitutional. Therefore, this  principle gave president Obama to place a check on the congress by vetoing the bill. President Obama was given the power in Article 1 Section 7 which allowed him to veto a law proposed by congress. Then the Articles says that the congress can check the power by overriding the veto which also occurred in our case.]]> 2016-11-09 14:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136409130 The Principle of Popular Sovereignty djellzazendeli https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136420302 Popular sovereignty allows for the government to change, over the will of the people. This principle of popular sovereignty affected if whether suing Saudi Arabia was going to become a law or not, because even if the president vetoed the bill,the people had to have a say. Which meant that if the people pushed and lobbied for it, the bill would likely become a law. This relates to our case because even though the president didn't want this bill passed, the people wanted the bill passed, and it was. ]]> 2016-11-09 15:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136420302 The Principal of Individual Rights jamesnassau https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136429857 2016-11-09 15:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136429857 The Constitution jamesnassau https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/136432221 The constitution is the document that describes and forms our government.

The congress had the complex majority necessary to overide Obama's vet. This case is about whether Americans should have the right to sue Saudi Arabia for the acts of terror on 9/11. A group named Al-Qaeda and leader, Osama Bin Laden planned and put the attacks into action. Since congress passed the law which allows American citizens to sue Saudi Arabia, and overrode the president, the Americans now have the right to sue the Saudi Arabians. ]]> 2016-11-14 15:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesnassau/wvg8egqi6soz/wish/137401605
