Federalism

The group presented their PowerPoint and talked about federalism. They told us that Federalism is a system in which the national government and the state share power. They said that it was a debate of separation of power. They talked about the building of federalism. They said that because of same power , it led to the civil war. Some people wanted to gain more power than the others. They gave some laws that some states haven't passed, they wrote the law and the states that haven't approved them. They also talked about the differences between states. Once they were done presenting they gave us a crossword puzzle. 

    I really liked there presentation , the crossword puzzle was a smart idea. They explained good. :)

Judicial Branch

They presented there power point and they talked about the three branches and how they work. They talked about justices serving the supreme court.They also talked about the seperation of power.They also said some names of judges back then and the ones right now and which president aprooved them. They brought things from the present for example the current chief of justice serving the supreme court who is John G. Roberts, jr. They also talked about the current judge Sonia sotomayor that was aprooved by our current president Barack Obama. They also told us that William O. Douglas served from 1939 to 1975 (36 years) He was the judge that served for a very long time in the supreme court. I liked the way the presented because they gave us a mini quiz based on what they presented. I liked how they gave information from back then and now. They should've given us more time to copy notes. Other than that everything was good. :)
