Tuesday, September 25th 2012

Yesterday in History we looked at an article called "The Bill Of Rock And Roll Rights" this of course was a hypothetical case. It was about a party on a private property with a musical performance by Madonna. The Police ended up busting the party by arresting Madonna and all other party goers for violating the Blue Laws which prohibit non puritan activities on Sundays. It then went on to describe the process of their trials and we had to decide among our group which Amendment was being violated.

Today in History we discussed the first party systems of the US including the democratic republicans and the federalists. We underlined what we thought was important in the two articles we were given and then Mr. Boyle helped us to put them into an organized chart on the projector. Some things we included were that the federalists wanted a physically and militarily strong nation and the democratic republicans wanted the power to be with the people through the government that is closest to them or more simply, at the state level.
