Legislative Branch

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/09/20/7856057-first-thoughts-the-governing-phase-is-over

In this article there is arguing about who will get the blame for the problems in the United States, Congress or the President.  The Congress is hoping that the people will blame to President even though he offers a change in politics. The President is trying to say that the taxes will change and everything will turn out alright if you vote for him.  the only problem is that about 100% of Republicans is against this idea and that wont help his votes.

This applies to our unit because of the law making and push for something new. When the constitution was being written people would argue about how it should go and shouldn't. As the writing went on they were able to work out the differences and the Constitution was born. Here there are argument that are being made and a decision need to be made so that way it will benefit the country as a whole and not just certain parties.

Executive branch

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/03/01/4428017-obama-announces-failing-schools-grants

Obama has had a primary focus on the growing education of our country. He has set goals for our country to be more efficient in our education.There are statistics that say that there are over a million students that drop our of High School and dont go on to college. Those students turn into teenage parents or those that commit crimes. the goverment wants to make those statistics go away so that way our country can benefit from it.

This applies to our unit because with the creation of our country we had supporting leaders that wanted the best for our country. Now it is our turn to do something to benefit those in our country by raising the bar of standards where everyone graduates high school and are able to to something to help our country grow.

Executive Branch

http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-08/politics/obama.jobs.plan_1_president-obama-deficit-reduction-political-circus?_s=PM:POLITICS

This article is saying how the President wants to start a plan in helping the Americans getting jobs, by this he will cut payroll taxes. This will encourage employees and employers to be rewarded for their hard work. Payroll taxes often prevent workers payment Reducing the taxes cause risk to the tax system that is in action now. It invalidates  upon using the loan from Congress cause our countries debt to increase. President Obama revealed his plan in his speech to the joint congress.

This relates to the unit that we are studying because the law makers find that the American Jobs Act will assist Americans in their rights for employment. reducing taxes commits argument that excels in our work industry. When the Declaration of Independence was written it was intended to change for modern purposes. Perhaps the Recession can conclude that Obama's plan can be validated by congress.

Preamble of the United States.

http://www.mcwdn.org/dof/conpreamble.html

The Preamble the The United States of America basically states the we will aim for a perfect union and fair justice for everyone that lives in the United States. Our founders made this Constitution so that we may live by it and be able to know that we have rights when we live in this land.


This relates to our unit because those who lived under the rule of King John had very little rights. they had to deal with how the King treated them and then as the years went on they began to slowly gain some power and in their own say in how they think the country should be ran. as they gained more power they began to shape the country without the rule of the King. Now in the time we live in today we have our own we that we live and we have our rights which come for the beginning of the Constitution,
